Equipment
- 1 Cast iron pan
- 1 Sheet pan
- bowls
Ingredients
Spicy Mayo:
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp siracha
Sweet Soy Sauce:
- 4 Tbsp Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 2 tsp Flour
- 4 Tbsp Honey
Chicken
- 4 Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 Cup Avocado oil
- 1 Egg
- 3/4 Cup Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
Rice
- 3/4 Cup Basmati rice
- 1 1/2 Cups Water
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- Pinch of Salt
Other
- 2-3 Cups broccoli florets
- Salt and pepper
- Avocado oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
- Chop up your broccoli into bite size florets, place them on a sheet pan, drizzle with avocado oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes
- Next start the rice. Rinse your rice under cold water and add it to a pot alongside the water, butter and a pinch of salt. Bring it to a simmer then reduce heat to low and cover until all of the water has absorbed
- Next whisk the egg in a medium sized bowl and add in the boneless skinless chicken thighs and toss them around to cover them in the egg
- In a shallow bowl whisk together the flour and a tsp of salt
- Heat 1/4 cup of avocado oil in a large cast iron pan over medium high heat.
- Dredge the egg covered chicken thighs through the flour mixture making sure they are fully coated and add them into the hot cast iron pan. Cook them 5-7 minutes per side, until crispy and cooked through to an internal temp of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While the chicken is cooking make the sauces. In a small pot combine the soy sauce, water and 1 tsp of flour, whisk until the flour is full incorporated. I use a milk frother for this and it works well. Next stir in the honey and place it over medium heat. As soon as it starts bubbling remove it from the heat, it should only take a few minutes.
- For the spicy mayo, just stir together the siracha and mayonnaise
- Once everything is cooked, plate the rice broccoli and chicken in a shallow bowl or plate and drizzle over both sauces and enjoy!
