Ingredients
Rice
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
- 2 1/4 cups boiling water
Greens
- 1 broccoli, cut into small florets
- 2 baby bok choy, roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced (optional)
Chicken
- 600g chicken breasts, diced 3cm
- 1 pack sticky chicken flour
- 1 Tbsp minced ginger
- 1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220°C. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Cook rice. Combine rice, boiling water measure and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil. Once boiling, stir and cover with a lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 5 more minutes. Fluff up rice with a fork.
-
Prep & cook greens. Toss broccoli on a lined oven tray with a drizzle of oil. Season and cook in oven for an initial 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add bok choy and garlic, drizzle with a little sesame oil and cook for a further 5-7 minutes, until tender.
-
Prep & cook chicken. Pat chicken dry, dice 3cm and season. Toss in a bowl with sticky chicken flour. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes (depending on thickness), or until cooked through and golden. Turn often to ensure even cooking. Set chicken aside on paper towels and reserve pan.
-
Make sauce. While chicken is cooking, combine ginger, soy sauce and honey in a bowl with a drizzle of sesame oil and 1 Tbsp water. Return pan to low-medium heat and cook sauce for about 2 minutes, until slightly reduced. Return chicken to pan and toss to coat.
-
Serve rice with chicken, sauce and greens.
