Instructions

  1. PREPARE THE CHICKEN

    1. In a medium bowl, whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes.

    2. Add chicken thighs, turning to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).

  1. COOK THE BROWN RICE

    1. Rinse rice thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear.

    2. In a saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 35 minutes.

    3. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

  1. GRILL THE CHICKEN

    1. Heat grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (discard excess).

    2. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

    3. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

  1. PREPARE VEGETABLES

    1. Blanch edamame in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water.

    2. Julienne bell pepper and carrot using a sharp knife.

    3. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds.

    4. Slice green onions on a diagonal.

  1. MAKE THE DRESSING

    In a small jar, combine all dressing ingredients. Shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  1. ASSEMBLE THE BOWLS

    1. Divide cooked rice among 4 meal prep containers.

    2. Top with sliced chicken, arranged vegetables and edamame.

    3. Drizzle with dressing or store separately in small containers.

    4. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

  1. STORAGE AND REHEATING

    Fridge: Up to 4 days
    Freezer: Chicken and rice freeze well for 2 months (store dressing separately)
    Reheat: Microwave 2-3 minutes or enjoy cold

Pro Tips:

    • For extra crispness, roast vegetables at 400°F for 15 minutes

    • Substitute quinoa for rice for a lower-carb option

    • Add sriracha to the dressing for a spicy kick

    • Toast sesame seeds for enhanced flavor
