Ingredients
-
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (2 lbs)
-
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
-
1 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 onion, sliced
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
3.5 cups chicken broth
-
1.5 cups extra-long grain white rice
-
1/4 cup Yum Yum sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
-
Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken thighs with soy sauce, pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
-
Sear Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and sear until browned on both sides and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes per side). Remove from skillet and set aside.
-
Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil. Sauté sliced onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.
-
Cook Rice: Stir in rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15–18 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
-
Combine: Slice or chop the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through.
-
Serve: Drizzle with Yum Yum sauce if using. Serve hot and enjoy
