Ingredients
Soy Ginger Chicken
- 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced against the grain into strips
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil avocado or light olive oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Roasted Broccoli
- 2 large heads broccoli cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
- Cooked rice of choice jasmine recommended
Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts against the grain into even strips.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, neutral oil, grated ginger, garlic, and black pepper.
- Add chicken and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate while preparing the broccoli.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a foil-lined sheet pan and roast for 12–15 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Push broccoli to the sides of the pan. Add marinated chicken to the center in a single layer.
- Return to the oven and roast for 10–12 minutes, until chicken is nearly cooked through.
- While the chicken cooks, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, until reduced into a glossy ginger soy glaze.
- Brush the glaze over the chicken. Broil for 2–3 minutes, watching closely, until caramelized.
- Remove from oven, toss chicken and broccoli together, and serve over rice.
Notes
- Slice chicken evenly for consistent cooking.
- Watch closely during broiling to prevent burning.
- This recipe works well with chicken thighs, but cooking time may vary.
