High Protein Honey Chilli Chicken Rice Bowls

If you’re seeking a flavour packed dinner that’s on the table in 30 minutes, you’re in the right spot. This one is a real bowlful of joy for our spin on a healthier fakeaway. Juicy, tender chicken coated in a sticky honey-chilli glaze, served over Veetee Sticky Rice and packed with crunchy bell peppers and Tenderstem broccoli. Finished with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and fresh red chilli for that perfect hit of heat and crunch. High in both protein and fibre, full of flavour, and ready in a flash, these bowls make healthy weeknight dinners feel anything but ordinary. For a vegetarian or vegan alternative simply swap the chicken for tofu, tempeh or halloumi. Veetee rice is steam filtered for perfect results every time. For ease we're using diced chicken breast, if you prefer you can use a whole chicken breast or thighs and chop them yourself. If you like it more saucy, simply double up on the sauce.

Ingredients

diced chicken breast 400 g
cornflour 2 tsp
garlic granules 2 tsp
bell pepper 2 (chopped)
Tenderstem broccoli 200 g
honey 4 tbsp
sriracha 3 tbsp
soy sauce 2 tbsp
ginger & garlic paste 1 tbsp
rice vinegar 2 tsp
Veetee heat & eat sticky rice pots 520 g
sesame seeds 1 tbsp
red chillies 1 (sliced)

Method

Cook the chicken

Heat the air fryer to 190°C.
Pat the diced chicken breast dry with kitchen paper. Add the chicken to a bowl with the cornflour and garlic granules. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 12 minutes.

Cook the vegetables & make the sauce

While the chicken is cooking, dice the bell pepper and slice any larger pieces of Tenderstem broccoli in half through the stalk.
Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan, add the bell pepper and broccoli to the pan and cook for 3 minutes.
Make the honey chilli sauce by mixing together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, ginger & garlic paste and rice vinegar.
Add the cooked chicken to the pan and stir in the sauce, toss everything together so that the sauce coats the chicken and vegetables. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes.

Cook the rice & Plate Up

Pierce the film of the Veetee sticky rice pots and microwave according to the packet instructions, e.g. for 2 minutes. Fluff with a fork then divide between bowls.
Top the rice with the honey chilli chicken and veg. Garnish with some optional red chilli and toasted sesame seeds.
