- Chicken & Broccoli: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs / 680 g), cut into bite-sized pieces; 4 cups (about 300 g) broccoli florets; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Teriyaki Sauce: 1/3 cup (80 ml) low-sodium soy sauce; 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey or maple syrup; 2 tablespoons rice vinegar; 1 tablespoon sesame oil; 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon cornstarch; 2 tablespoons water
- For Serving: 2 cups (370 g) cooked brown rice; 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds; 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Step 1
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Step 2
- In a large bowl, toss chicken and broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
- Step 3
- In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Step 4
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Whisk slurry into the saucepan and simmer for 2–3 minutes, until sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
- Step 5
- Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and broccoli, tossing gently to coat. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.
- Step 6
- Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and broccoli is tender and slightly crisp.
- Step 7
- Serve chicken and broccoli over cooked brown rice. Drizzle with reserved teriyaki sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For even more depth of flavor, marinate the chicken in half of the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before roasting. Ensure your broccoli florets are cut into uniform sizes so they reach the perfect crispness at the same time as the chicken finishes cooking.
