Ingredients

• Chicken and Glaze:
• 4 chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Dijon
• 2 tbsp hot sauce
• 2 tbsp any vinegar
• 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tbsp olive (for frying)
• Rice and Broccolini:
• 2 cups rice
• 3 cups water
• 2 bunches broccolini

Directions

1. Combine the rice and water in a pot, bring to boil then turn down to simmer until the water is absorbed, 6-8 minutes.

2. Remove rice from heat, place broccolini in the pot on top of the rice, put lid back on and leave for the rice to rest for 5 minutes and the residual heat to steam the broccolini.

3. While the rice is cooking, combine the chicken marinade ingredients.

4. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat, quickly dip each piece of chicken into the marinade, shaking off the excess, then place into the pan.

5. Cook the first side for 2-3 minutes, until it caramelizes and is dark golden, then turn and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes.

6. Remove the chicken from the pan, add remaining marinade with an extra 1/2 cup water.

7. Bring to rapid simmer, stirring occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pan to get all the brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.

8. When the sauce has thickened (around 1-2 minutes), remove from heat, return chicken to the pan to coat in sauce.

9. To serve, place rice on a plate, top with chicken and broccolini on the side.
