My cookbook is here! 
No need for takeout, make your own with this simple and healthy one pan dish.
One pan meals are the so elite and the choicest of dinners. Especially when you cover all the food groups and everyone in the family is happy. We have our protein with the chicken, the fiber in our broccoli and our grain in our rice. Done and done.
The simple honey garlic sauce in this recipe is the element that really sends this dish over the top. I don’t mind eating this without the sauce either but if you’re looking for something special and super similar to takeout – this is it. You will be licking your utensils at the end.

One Pan Honey Garlic Chicken Broccoli Rice
Ingredients
Marinade:
- 1½ lbs (0.68 kg) chicken breasts, 2" cubed
- 2 tbs sesame oil, or olive oil
- 2 tbs low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbs Sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
One Pan:
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 cup (185 g) uncooked basmati rice
- 3¾ cups (0.89 l) low sodium chicken broth, (or water)
- 1/2 tsp Italian dried herb blend
Honey Garlic Sauce for Serving:
- 1 tbs toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbs low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbs ginger, minced
- 2-3 tbs honey
Optional Toppings:
- diced scallions + toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Chicken Marinade:
- Combine your chicken cubes with the sesame oil, soy sauce, Sriracha and garlic powder. You can cover and marinade overnight or 1 hour.
One Pan:
- Heat a large deep skillet on medium high. Add in the chicken and spread out evenly in one layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes then flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Next, make an empty circle in the center of the pan and add in the onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add a little oil if needed. Stir in the garlic for 30 seconds. Now toss in the broccoli, rice and chicken broth. Mix everything together and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is done. (It may need more broth or water if the rice isn't done and the liquids in the pan have evaporated).
Honey Garlic Sauce:
- Whisk together the toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, Sriracha, garlic, ginger and honey. Taste the sauce and adjust anything if needed. Pour this sauce on the finished chicken and rice dish and garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Silly question, can I make this with shrimp?
Hi Karole, never silly questions!
Absolutely this would be awesome with shrimp too – cook time would also be quicker as well!
Is the nutrition value at the end of your recipes per serving? What comprises a serving?
Hi Deb, yes its at the bottom of the recipe box and the Serving Size is listed at the to top of each recipe box
Now this is a tasty dish! I love skillet dishes, and this is one of my favorites. I made it for company, prepping everything beforehand, and then just assembled it in the pan to cook. just before dinner. Worked beautifully. I used two cups of water and one cup of basmati rice and it turned out perfectly.
Thanks again Stella
This was great, the chicken was tender and tasty. Next time I may substitute or include carrots.
The instructions were very clear and the meal was great! My husband liked it as much as I did! It’s a keeper and one that I’ll make for company.
Thank you Stella!
