  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, sliced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice

  • Cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes each.
  2. Add garlic and ginger to the skillet, sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in soy sauce, honey, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
