Hot Honey Brothy Rice Bowls With Chicken

by Kellyann Petrucci

Sweet heat, savory broth, and golden chicken come together in these Hot Honey Brothy Rice Bowls. With jasmine rice, roasted broccoli, and a garlicky broth finished with honey, this recipe turns simple dinner ingredients into a bowl full of flavor.

Dr. Kellyann’s version uses Sriracha Chicken Bone Broth in both the chicken seasoning and the broth poured over the finished bowls. The result is a cozy dinner with a little kick and plenty to scoop up in every spoonful.

What Is a Brothy Rice Bowl?

A brothy rice bowl combines cooked rice, protein, and vegetables with warm broth. It brings together the comforting qualities of soup and the variety of a loaded rice bowl.

Here, the rice sits in the center, surrounded by chicken and broccoli. The broth goes in just before serving, letting the rice soak up the sweet, spicy, garlicky flavors as you eat.

Why Bone Broth Works in This Recipe

Broth is a central ingredient in this dish, so its flavor matters. Dr. Kellyann Sriracha Chicken Bone Broth adds a savory base with a spicy kick that pairs well with honey and garlic.

A small amount of the powder also goes into the chicken seasoning with coconut aminos and avocado oil. Using it in both parts of the recipe carries that flavor throughout the bowl.

Hot Honey Brothy Rice Bowls Recipe

Servings: 2

Ingredients

For the chicken

2 chicken breasts, cubed
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 teaspoon Dr. Kellyann Sriracha Chicken Bone Broth powder

For the bowls

2 cups cooked jasmine rice
2 cups cooked broccoli
Scallions, sliced, for topping
Hot honey, for drizzling
Sriracha, optional, for serving

For the broth

2 packets Dr. Kellyann Sriracha Chicken Bone Broth
2 cups water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon avocado oil
1 tablespoon raw honey

Directions

Combine the garlic, coconut aminos, avocado oil, and 1 teaspoon of bone broth powder in a bowl. Toss with the cubed chicken, then cook in a skillet over medium heat until golden and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions. For roasted broccoli, roast the florets at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender, making enough for 2 cups cooked broccoli.

Whisk the 2 packets of bone broth powder with 2 cups of water. In a small saucepan, sauté the garlic in avocado oil for 1 minute. Add the prepared broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the raw honey.

Pack 1 cup of cooked rice into a small bowl and invert it into a serving bowl. Arrange half the chicken and broccoli around the rice, then repeat for the second bowl. Divide the warm broth between the bowls. Top with sliced scallions, a drizzle of hot honey, and optional sriracha. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Brothy Rice Bowls

Give the chicken room to brown. Spread the chicken in an even layer in the skillet. Cook in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan.

Keep the rice separate until serving. Assemble the bowls just before eating so you can enjoy the rice, chicken, and vegetables with freshly poured broth.

Finish the broth off the heat. Stir in the honey after removing the saucepan from the heat, as directed in the recipe.

Taste before adding more heat. The Sriracha Chicken Bone Broth already brings spice. Add the hot honey and optional sriracha to suit your preference.

Easy Variations

Change the Vegetables

Swap the broccoli for cooked bok choy, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted cauliflower. Use a combination to add more variety to each bowl.

Try a Different Rice

Cooked brown rice works in place of jasmine rice for a chewier texture. Prepare it separately according to its package instructions before assembling.

Adjust the Sweetness

Start with a light drizzle of hot honey when serving. The broth already includes honey, so a little extra may be all you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cook the rice in the broth?

For this recipe, the rice cooks separately. Warm broth is poured around the rice, chicken, and broccoli just before serving.

Can these bowls be prepared ahead?

The components can be prepared separately for easier assembly. Keep the broth separate from the rice until serving, since rice will continue absorbing liquid as it sits.

Are hot honey brothy rice bowls spicy?

This version has heat from the Sriracha Chicken Bone Broth and hot honey. Skip the optional sriracha and adjust the finishing drizzle to your taste.

Is the bone broth powder for the chicken included in the 2 packets?

The ingredient list calls for 1 teaspoon of powder for the chicken, plus 2 packets for the broth. Measure them separately.

Do you need to mold the rice?

No. Molding the rice creates the presentation shown, but you can simply spoon it into the serving bowls before adding the other ingredients.
