Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 piece red bell pepper
• 1 piece zucchini
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 4

Meanwhile, rinse the brown rice under cold water and add it to a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 35-40 minutes until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed.

Step 5

While the rice is cooking, dice the red bell pepper and zucchini.

Step 6

In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets.

Step 7

Stir-fry the vegetables over medium heat until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and honey to make the sauce.

Step 9

Once the vegetables are ready, add the sliced chicken back to the skillet and pour the sauce over everything. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 10

Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork. Divide the rice among four bowls.

Step 11

Top each bowl with the chicken and vegetable mixture.

Step 12

Sprinkle sesame seeds over each bowl before serving.
