Day 24 - Sticky Ginger Chicken, Rice & Roasted Broccoli

This is a delicious, healthy version of a Chinese takeaway and is incredibly easy to make! Not to mention a hell of a lot cheaper than ordering in a takeaway! We both really enjoyed this and will definitely be making it again - next year! ;)

STICKY GINGER CHICKEN, RICE & ROASTED BROCCOLI

Serves: 2 People

Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cooking Time: 40 Minutes

2 tbsp of Chopped Ginger
2 tbsp of Runny Honey
2 tbsp of Soy Sauce
2 Garlic Cloves
2 Limes
2 Large Chicken Breasts or 4 Chicken Thighs
1 Broccoli
1 Mug (300g) of Long Grain Rice
Olive Oil

• Firstly in a bowl combine the finely chopped ginger, honey, soy sauce, crushed garlic cloves, the zest of 2 limes and the juice of 1 lime. Put the chicken in and mix so that it's well covered in the marinade. Allow to marinade for 4 hours or overnight.
• When ready preheat the oven to 210 degrees. Put the chicken and marinade into a oven dish and cook for 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile cut the broccoli into florets and lay out on a roasting tray. Drizzle with plenty of olive oil and roast for about 20 minutes. Don't worry if they burn that's what makes them delicious.
• Once the broccoli has gone in, put a pan of salted water on a high heat and when boiling add the rice and cook for 10-15 minutes, until soft and fluffy.
• Serve the chicken on top of the rice with the roasted broccoli and drizzle over a little soy sauce for seasoning.
