Cooking Steps
Preheat the broiler to high (to broil the broccoli).
Prep: In a medium pot bring 11/3 cups salted water (double for 4 people) to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Mince or grate the garlic. Peel, then mince or grate 1 tbsp ginger (double for 4 people).
Cook the rice: Add the rice to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed, 10-12 min.
Cook the chicken: Meanwhile, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil, then the chicken. Pan-fry until the chicken is golden-brown, 4-5 min per side. Add the garlic, ginger, honey, 11/2 pkg soy sauce (3 pkg for 4 people), and 1/3 cup water (double for 4 people). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and a sticky glaze forms, 4-6 min. (TIP: Inserting a thermometer into the cooked chicken should display an internal temperature of 175°F.)
Broil the broccoli: Meanwhile, toss the broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Broil in the centre of the oven, stirring halfway through, until just golden and tender, 7-10 min.
Finish and serve: Divide the rice between plates. Top with the chicken. Drizzle with any remaining sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve the roasted broccoli on the side. Enjoy!
