Ingredients
HONEY SOY ROASTED CHICKEN
- 1 butterflied chicken
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons runny honey
- ¼ cup GF soy sauce
- 1 spring onion, green part only, thinly sliced
COCONUT RICE
- 1½ cups jasmine rice
- ½ cup coconut cream (shake well before opening)
- 1¾ cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
GREENS
- 1 head broccoli
- 1 baby bok choy
- 1-2 spring onions (optional, adults)
- ½ bag baby spinach leaves
- Pinch of chilli flakes (optional, adults)
- 1 teaspoon GF sesame oil (optional)
Steps
-
oven grill to high. Line two oven trays (one with a lip) with baking paper.
-
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and place on prepared tray (with lip), skin-side-up. Rub with oil and grill for about 5 minutes, until skin is lightly golden. In a small bowl, whisk honey and soy sauce until combined. Remove chicken from oven and turn oven temperature to bake 220°C.
-
Make two slash marks with a sharp knife on each chicken thigh. Use a brush to baste a little marinade over chicken. Roast for about 30 minutes, basting occasionally with a little more marinade, until chicken is just cooked through. Set aside, covered, to rest for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle over spring onion.
-
Combine all coconut rice ingredients in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, stir and cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 10 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
-
While chicken and rice are cooking, cut broccoli into small florets and thinly slice stalk; trim 1cm end off bok choy, rinse leaves and thinly slice; thinly slice spring onions (if using).
-
When chicken has 5 minutes cook time remaining, toss broccoli with chilli flakes (if using), sesame oil and a drizzle of oil on second prepared tray and season with salt. Roast for about 8 minutes, until tender. Toss bok choy, spring onions and baby spinach on tray, until combined.
-
cut chicken into 4-5 pieces. Spoon ¾ cup cooked coconut rice onto each plate and top with chicken. Serve sesame greens on the side and drizzle over any remaining marinade, if desired.
