Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 cups jasmine rice rinsed thoroughly
  • 2.25 cups water for cooking rice
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes adjust for heat level
  • 1/3 cup honey or light brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha for color and kick
  • 1 tbsp white sesame seeds toasted
  • 2 stalks green scallions thinly sliced

Equipment

  • 1 Large Non-stick Skillet Or cast iron skillet for the best sear.
  • 1 Pot with Lid For steaming the jasmine rice.

Method
 

Rice Preparation
  1. Rinse jasmine rice until water runs clear. Combine with water in a pot, bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Chicken and Sauce
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces in a single layer and sear until a deep golden-brown crust forms, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and red chili flakes to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant and visible in the oil.
  3. Pour in honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Stir until the sauce bubbles and thickens into a glossy, translucent amber-red glaze coating the chicken.
  4. Serve the chicken over the fluffy jasmine rice. Top with a generous sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and sliced green scallions.
