Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken & Broccoli

1½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 cups broccoli florets
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Honey Garlic Sauce

¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
3 tbsp honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (or ½ tsp ground ginger)
¼ tsp black pepper

For Serving

2 cups jasmine rice (uncooked)
Sesame seeds (optional)
Sliced green onions (optional)

Instructions

Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
Make the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.
Marinate Chicken
Add chicken thighs to the sauce and toss to coat well. Let marinate for 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes if time allows).
Prepare Broccoli
Toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast
Arrange chicken on the baking sheet and scatter broccoli around it. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the chicken.
Roast for 15 minutes, flip chicken and stir broccoli, then roast another 10–15 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temp) and broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
Cook Rice
While everything roasts, cook jasmine rice according to package instructions.
Assemble Bowls
Divide rice into bowls, top with sliced chicken and roasted broccoli, and spoon any pan juices over the top. Garnish if desired.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for the juiciest results—they stay tender during roasting.
Rinse your rice before cooking for fluffier grains.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—space helps everything caramelize instead of steam.
Extra sauce lover? Double the sauce and drizzle more over the finished bowls.
Add heat with red pepper flakes or sriracha if you like it spicy.
