Instructions
1-Getting started: Getting started with this sticky glazed chicken bowl is a breeze, and weβll walk you through each step to make sure itβs fun and straightforward. This recipe serves 5, so itβs great for sharing with family or meal prepping for the week. Begin by cooking the rice and prepping your veggies, as that sets the foundation for a delicious meal.
2-First, cook the rice as directed on the package and steam the broccoli until itβs tender, then set it aside. This keeps everything organized and ready to assemble. Next, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and toss them with the oil and seasonings for an even coat.
3-Preheat your air fryer to 400Β°F (204Β°C) and cook the chicken for about 12 minutes until it reaches 160Β°F (71Β°C). For more tips on using an air fryer, check out this easy snack recipe that uses similar techniques for crispy results.
4-Making the Sauce and Assembly: While the chicken cooks, mix the sticky sauce ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil, then thicken it with the arrowroot slurry. For the spicy mayo, combine the ingredients and adjust with water as needed. Once everything is ready, layer the rice, broccoli, and chicken, drizzle on the sauce and mayo, and add toppings like sesame seeds.
