Ingredients

  • 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)

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
