Ingredients

For the Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 lb chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 4 tsbp soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 and 1/2 inch piece ginger grated
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

For the Bowls

  • 3-4 cups cooked rice, cauli rice or quinoa
  • 3 medium carrots spiralized or julienned
  • 5-7 cups various leafy greens of your choice blend of spinach/aragula/kale/lettuce etc
  • 1-2 avocado
  • 3-4 sunny side up eggs optional
  • cilantro for garnish

For the Finishing Sauce

  • 1 tsp chili-garlic sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 6 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add the chicken and toss it around to coat. Let this stand for 3o minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and arrange them in a baking pan that is lined with foil. Position an oven rack 4 inches away from the top heat source. Set the oven broiler to high. Broil the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through, with some caramelized bits. Remove from oven.
  • Slice the chicken into strips or chunks.

Assemble the Korean Chicken Bowls (3-4 bowls)

  • Spoon some rice on a serving bowl. Arrange some the carrots and some of the leafy greens on the sides. Add some of the chicken pieces on top of the rice. Cut the avocado in little cubes or halves, and arrange beside the rest of the vegetables. Sprinkle sesame seed on the chicken. Top with a sunny -side up egg, if desired. To serve, drizzle with the sweet-savory sauce. Repeat to make the rest of the rice bowls.

To Make the Sauce ( you can double or triple the amount, if desired)

  • Stir all ingredients in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
