Description
Tender chicken caramelized in a savory soy sauce, served in a fragrant garlic and ginger broth, paired perfectly with steamed rice.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece ginger, sliced thinly
3 cups chicken broth
2 green onions, sliced
1 cup jasmine rice
1 3/4 cups water (for rice)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Rinse rice under cold water until clear. Cook rice with 1 3/4 cups water in a pot or rice cooker according to package instructions.
In a bowl, mix soy sauce and brown sugar until sugar dissolves.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
Pour soy sauce mixture over chicken and let it caramelize, turning occasionally, until thickened and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Bring to a simmer.
Return chicken to the skillet and simmer in broth for 5 more minutes to meld flavors.
Season broth with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve chicken and broth over steamed rice, garnished with sliced green onions.
Notes
- Use dark soy sauce for a richer color and flavor.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime for extra freshness.
- For extra heat, add sliced chili peppers or a dash of chili flakes.
