- Prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes (optional), and black pepper in a medium bowl.
- Marinate cubed chicken in the mixture for at least 30 minutes (overnight for best results).
- Rinse rice under cold water until clear, then combine with water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil before reducing heat and covering to steam.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Roast for about 20 minutes until tender.
- Grill marinated chicken skewers on medium-high heat for approximately 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Assemble bowls with rice at the base topped with grilled chicken and roasted broccoli.
- Garnish as desired with sesame seeds, green onions, sriracha, avocado slices, or peanut sauce.
