Ingredients

  • about 680 g Chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup Coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Ginger
  • 1 tbsp Arrowroot powder
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • about 450 g Broccoli florets
  • 4 cups Cooked rice

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup coconut aminos, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger until well combined.
  2. 2In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder and 2 tablespoons water until smooth, creating a slurry.
  3. 3Heat the 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat, which is about 190°C.
  4. 4Add the about 680 g chicken thighs to the hot skillet. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, until the chicken is browned and the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
  5. 5Pour the coconut aminos mixture from the bowl over the chicken in the skillet. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, which is a low, bubbling boil.
  6. 6Stir the arrowroot slurry into the simmering sauce. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  7. 7While the sauce is thickening, steam the about 450 g broccoli florets until they are tender but still slightly firm, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  8. 8Serve the chicken teriyaki over the 4 cups of cooked rice, with the steamed broccoli on the side.
