Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Base

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup brown rice

Vegetables

  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced carrots

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 2 tablespoons natural honey
  • 1/4 cup grape juice
  • 2 tablespoons natural soy sauce (gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Other

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Chop chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, mince garlic finely, slice carrots, and cut broccoli into small florets. Preparing in advance speeds up cooking.
  2. Cook the Rice: Cook brown rice according to package instructions to serve as a nutty and wholesome base.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and mostly cooked through to seal in juices and keep chicken tender.
  4. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, honey (natural), grape juice, natural soy sauce, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and natural gelling agent until well combined.
  5. Cook Vegetables and Combine: Add broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the pan with the chicken. Sauté until vegetables are tender-crisp. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the mixture and let simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything evenly.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Spoon a generous portion of cooked brown rice into bowls, then top with the honey garlic chicken and vegetable mixture, making sure to include plenty of the sauce for flavor.

Notes

  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Do not overcook broccoli and carrots; keep them crunchy for texture contrast.
  • Gradually add natural gelling agent to thicken sauce without overpowering flavors.
  • Slice chicken pieces evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or grape juice to achieve desired balance.
