Recipe Review: Garlic Honey Crispy Chicken Rice Bowl & A Short Story
The Garlic Honey Crispy Chicken Rice Bowl recipe I am going to review today is from a UK site called The Good Bite. For the recipe listed on their website, the serving was for one. So, I adapted that to feed myself and other humans. I also swapped out the rice for cauliflower rice for myself, and instead of the asparagus they used as the steam vegetable on the side, I’ll be using broccoli.
Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure that’s both sweet and savory, crunchy and tender – it’s time to dive into the world of our Garlic Honey Crispy Chicken Rice Bowl! Picture this: succulent chicken breast coated in crispy cornflakes, nestled atop a bed of fluffy jasmine rice, and drizzled with a tantalizing garlic honey sauce that will sing your taste buds. But wait, there’s more! We’ve got a sprinkle of sesame seeds, a dash of spring onions, and a dollop of Sriracha mayo to take this dish from ordinary to extraordinary. So, grab your apron and get ready to whip up a meal that’s not just delicious but downright delightful!
Ingredients for the Garlic Honey Crispy Chicken Rice Bowl
For the Chicken Breast
- 1 chicken breast
- 30g cornflakes
- 1 egg
- 65g jasmine rice, uncooked
- 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
- Sesame seeds to garnish
- Sriracha mayonnaise to garnish (we just mixed some light olive oil mayo and sriracha together until we found the heat flavor we liked.)
For the Garlic Honey Sauce

- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cornflour mixed with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions for the Garlic Honey Crispy Chicken Rice Bowl
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 400°F.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and cook the jasmine rice according to packet instructions.
- Coat the chicken. Cover and bash the chicken to 2-3cm thickness. Pour out the cornflakes onto a plate and break them up with your hands. Season the chicken breast with salt, dip in the flour, and then coat with the cornflakes. Transfer the chicken to a baking tray, spray all over with low-calorie cooking spray, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Mix together the garlic-honey sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Steam the broccoli ready to serve with your chicken and rice.
- When the chicken is out of the oven, heat the sauce in a pan and cook for 2-4 minutes until bubbling. Then add the chicken and toss to coat in the sauce. Remove from the pan and slice the chicken breast.
- Serve with the cooked jasmine rice and broccoli and garnish with spring onion, sesame seeds, and sriracha mayonnaise.
