Steps

1

Boil the chicken breast in salted water for 12-15 minutes, let it cool slightly, then shred or slice into bite-sized pieces.

~15 min

Watch out: Overcooking makes it dry — don't go past 15 minutes; let residual heat finish it.

2

Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and vinegar to make the sauce.

~2 min

3

Cut the avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and purple cabbage into bite-sized pieces.

~5 min

4

Add the brown rice to a bowl and arrange the chicken and prepped vegetables on top.

~2 min

Why: Arranging the ingredients by color makes the bowl look appetizing even before mixing.

5

Drizzle the sauce over everything and top with sesame seeds and seaweed flakes.

~1 min

Tips

  • —

    Letting the chicken cool in its cooking liquid keeps it much juicier.

  • —

    White rice or quinoa work just as well as brown rice.

  • —

    Add the sauce right before eating so the vegetables stay crisp.

Storage

Store the components separately for up to 2 days; toss with the sauce only right before eating.
