Cooking Steps
To prepare the ingredients, peel and grate the ginger and garlic. Roughly chop the Chinese broccoli, and finely chop the spring onions and chilli (deseeded if you prefer).
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan forced.
In a baking dish whisk to combine the vegetable oil, half of the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and the HelloFresh Chinese Five Spice. Add the chicken breasts and coat well in the marinade. Bake for 35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, place the jasmine rice into a sieve and rinse it with cold tap water. The water will initially become cloudy, continue to rinse until the water becomes clear enough (it doesn’t need to be crystal). Place the rice and water in a medium saucepan. Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes or until soft. In the last minute of cooking the rice, add the Chinese broccoli to the pot to steam for 1 minute. Take off the heat and set aside. Remove the Chinese broccoli from the water and transfer to a plate.
Remove the chicken from the baking dish. Add the remaining soy sauce, spring onions, and birdseye chilli and stir, scraping the base of the dish until well combined.
Slice the baked chicken, divide the rice between bowls and top with the chicken. Drizzle the spring onion and chilli mixture over the chicken and serve with the Chinese broccoli. Enjoy!
