Delicious Chicken Rice Bowl with Veggies and Sauce: A Nourishing, Flavor-Packed Meal

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and honey (if using).
Coat the chicken breasts in the seasoning mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Cook the Rice and Veggies
If you haven’t already, cook the rice according to the package instructions.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrots, and corn. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender yet crisp. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, chili flakes (if using), garlic, ginger, and water until well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Rice Bowl
In a bowl, layer the cooked rice as the base.
Arrange the sautéed veggies and sliced chicken on top of the rice.
Drizzle the prepared sauce generously over the top of the chicken and veggies.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Garnish the bowl with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious chicken rice bowl!
