Honey Lime Chicken and Rice Bowls
Chicken breast is one of the healthiest proteins you can feed your body. With it coming in at ZERO weight watchers points it’s no wonder of its popularity! Not only is it healthy but it is also delicious!
I am a dark meat, chicken thigh fan and have been since I was a kid. However, I have grown to love chicken breast in all its glory. It truly takes on the flavor that you give it and if you cook it correctly, it will stay moist and tender.
Honey Lime Chicken and Rice Bowls
These turned out amazing and so ridiculously easy! I really enjoy having chicken and rice for my lunches at work and there are so many different ways you can make them!This recipe is such a perfect sweet flavor with an amazing combo of the honey and lime.Bring extra sauce on the side because it is THAT delish!
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
- 1 Pressure/Rice Cooker
- 1 Sauce Pan
- 4 Lunch Storage Containers
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 lbs Chicken Breast
- 2 cups Jasmine Rice
- 4 cups Broccoli
- 6 tbsp Keto/Sugar Free Honey (I love Wholesome Yum)
- 3 tbsp Lite Soy Sauce
- 3 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 2 tsp Minced Ginger
Instructions
- Slice your chicken horizontally to make thinner pieces (optional)
- Mix your sauce until your honey is mixed in really well
- Place your chicken in 1 or 2 ziplock bags and pour sauce over, seal and marinate for 3 hours. You don't need to marinade but it really picks up the flavors of the sauce.
- Once you have marinated your chicken, turn your air fryer on to 400 for 18 minutes.
- Place your chicken into the air fryer basket, not touching and single layer. You may need to do 2 to 3 batches.
- Flip half way and brush some more of your sauce on the chicken
- Cook your rice in the pressure cooker or rice cooker. I made jasmine rice for these which is my favorite.
- Once each batch of chicken is cooked, place on a board or cookie sheet while the remaining cooks
- When your rice has about 10 minutes left, boil up your broccoli.
- When all of your chicken is done, slice whichever way you wish.
- Once your rice is done, measure out for each of your lunch containers.
- Add your chicken and broccoli. Top with cilantro, sesame seeds and lime slice.
- If you want more sauce for the side, make up the same measurements above to make another batch!

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I don’t have an air fryer. How would you recommend I cook the chicken instead? Bake it or grill it?
Thanks!
Hi Janel! I prefer to grill it if I am not using the air fryer. But if you bake it, I’d have the temp set at 400 for about 25 minutes.
Looks so good! I am trying it today! What size containers do you use for meal prep?
Yay!! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. My glass dishes are about 5×7.
How much rice and broccoli are you supposed to use?
Hi Brenna! Great catch as I clearly missed adding that! I edited the recipe to add 1 cup of each rice and broccoli. Hope you enjoy!
