Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. To prepare the ingredients, peel and crush the garlic, and peel and grate the ginger. Finely slice the spring onion and cut the broccoli into florets.
Add the chicken thighs to the greased baking dish. In a small bowl combine the honey, salt-reduced soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic and ginger. Season with cracked black pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs and toss to coat well. Transfer to the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through. Halfway through, brush the thighs with the excess marinade in the baking dish. Once cooked, remove from the oven, spoon over the sticky sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
Meanwhile, place the brown rice into a sieve and rinse it with tap water until the water runs clear. Place the rice and the hot water in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil over a high heat. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water has absorbed. Then stir through the spring onions.
When the chicken is close to ready, fill a small saucepan half full of water and bring to the boil. Place a steamer basket over the saucepan and add the broccoli florets. Steam for 2-3 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Drain. If you don’t have a steamer, pop the broccoli straight into the water and boil for 1-2 minutes.
To serve, divide the brown rice, chicken thighs and broccoli between plates.
