Ingredients
Rice
- 1 1/2 cups brown rice
- 2 1/4 cups water
Greens
- 1 broccoli, cut into small florets
- 1/2-1 pack Asian greens, roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced (optional)
Chicken
- 600g chicken breasts, diced 3cm
- 1 pack chicken spices
- 2 Tbsp GF cornflour
- 2 Tbsp GF plain flour
- 1 Tbsp minced ginger
- 1 1/2 Tbsp GF soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220°C. Cook rice. Combine rice, 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 15 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 8 more minutes. Fluff up 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 Asian greens and garlic, drizzle with a little sesame oil and cook for 5-7 minutes further, until tender.
-
Prep & cook chicken. Pat chicken dry, season and dice 3cm. Toss in a bowl with chicken spices, cornflour and 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.
