Notes
Need a recipe for the honey garlic chicken? Check out my 15-minute stovetop honey garlic chicken or my slow cooker honey garlic chicken.
I use steamed brown rice, but you could substitute regular white rice here if that’s what your family likes. You could also go low-carb and use my easy cauliflower rice Instead of regular rice. Or even substitute quinoa, rice noodles or a long-thin noodle like angel hair in place of the rice.
Broccoli is my favorite pairing for these bowls, but green peas (thawed and warmed up from frozen) or snow peas (lightly steamed) would also be good options. You could also use a wilted green like spinach or Swiss chard for the veggie.
Need extra sauce to drizzle over everything? You can mix up the following in a small bowl or jar to use for more sauce: 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
