Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice with 2 ½ cups of water and a pinch of salt in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes until tender. Let sit covered for 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Set aside 3 tablespoons of this marinade for later.
- Place 1 ½ pounds of chicken thighs in a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, coating all pieces. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray or oil. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and tent with foil.
- In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vibrant and tender. Stir frequently for even cooking.
- Slice the cooked chicken and return to the skillet with the veggies. Pour in the reserved marinade, stirring and cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and divide into bowls. Top with the sticky chicken and vegetable mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes
Marinate chicken for deeper flavor. Store chicken-vegetable mixture and rice in separate containers to maintain texture.
