Sesame Chicken With Asian Greens & Rice
Sesame Chicken With Asian Greens & Rice
Oh how I LOVE this dish! It’s super easy – you throw it all in a roasting dish, so there are very few dirty dishes. This is one meal that I’m certain our whole family will eat, even our very picky 5-year-old. Oh and did I mention it’s absolutely delicious?!
Ingredients
- 6–8 chicken drumsticks skin on
- 1 bunch broccolini or broccoli, chopped roughly
- 2 bunches bok choy roughly chopped
- 1 cup snow peas trimmed
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- cooked rice white or brown, to serve
- 4 spring onions finely sliced
Marinade
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons hoisin or oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C conventional (180°C fan-forced).
- For the marinade: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
- Place the chicken drumsticks in a large roasting dish and pour over one-third of the marinade. Toss to coat the chicken and roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, move the chicken over to one side of the dish and add the broccolini, bok choy and snow peas. Pour another one-third of the marinade over the greens. Then move the greens underneath the chicken, letting the drumsticks sit on top. Add the remainder of the marinade and sprinkle the sesame seeds onto the drumsticks. Roast for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- To serve: Add rice to bowls, top with some greens, then follow with a chicken drumstick. Sprinkle with the spring onion and drizzle over some of the sauce from the roasting dish.
