Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. To prepare the ingredients, peel and finely grate the garlic and ginger, rinse the brown rice, finely slice the spring onions, and trim the green beans.
Add the chicken to a greased baking dish. In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, salt-reduced soy sauce, sesame oil, warm water, garlic and ginger. Season with cracked black pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken 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 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 onion.
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 green beans. Steam for 2 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Drain. Tip: If you don’t have a steamer, pop the green beans straight into the water and boil for 1-2 minutes.
To serve, divide the brown rice, chicken and green beans between plates.
