Main Ingredients

  • boneless chicken thighs
  • jasmine rice
  • soy sauce
  • honey
  • sesame oil
  • garlic
  • ginger
  • green onions
  • salt and pepper
  • cornstarch

Instructions
 

Steps

  • Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water to remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed.
  • In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant. Mix in the soy sauce and honey. For a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch mixture and let it simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce, stirring to coat the chicken evenly. Simmer for another 2 minutes to ensure all flavors meld together perfectly.
  • Spoon the cooked rice into bowls and top with sticky chicken. Garnish generously with chopped green onions, and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, adding a splash of water or stock to loosen the sauce.
