Description
A simple and delicious recipe for Peppercorn Chicken Steam Bowl, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns, crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with crushed black peppercorns and salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In the same skillet, add the broccoli, bell peppers, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- While the vegetables are cooking, slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cooked brown rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
- To assemble the steam bowl, place a scoop of the rice mixture at the bottom of each bowl. Top with the sliced chicken and then add the stir-fried vegetables.
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables while stir-frying.
- Substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option, adjusting cooking times as necessary.
