Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Alternatively, you can use chicken thighs.
  • 1/4 cup Low sodium soy sauce Tamari is a great gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated Avoid dried ginger for better flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or sugar To balance the soy sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil For cooking the chicken.

For the Bowl

  • 2 cups Rice (white or brown) Quinoa or cauliflower rice can serve as alternatives.
  • 2 cups Shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup Green onions, chopped For garnish.
  • 1 clove Garlic (optional) For added flavor.

For the Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Vinegar (splash)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • Combine soy sauce, grated ginger, and honey in a bowl. Place the chicken in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours.

Cook the Chicken

  • Preheat a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill or pan-fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing.

Cook the Rice

  • Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Cook in broth for added flavor if desired.

Prepare the Cabbage Mixture

  • In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, chopped green onions, soy sauce, honey, and vinegar. Toss to coat evenly.

Assemble Your Bowls

  • Serve the grilled chicken over a bed of rice and top with cabbage mixture. Garnish with additional green onions.

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze the chicken for up to 3 months. For best reheating, use a microwave or skillet with water to create steam.
