6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (2 lbs)
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger powder
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)
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil, sliced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until onions are soft.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in rice, cover, and cook for 15–20 minutes or until rice is tender and broth is absorbed.
While rice cooks, slice the cooked chicken into strips.
Once rice is done, add chicken back into the pan and cook for 2–3 more minutes to combine.
Drizzle with Yum Yum sauce before serving, if desired.
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken longer or overnight.
Swap chicken thighs for chicken breast if preferred.
Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or zucchini for a full meal in one pan.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
