In a large bowl, combine half chicken, garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. • In a small bowl, combine plum sauce, oyster sauce and ginger paste. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken, skin side down first, until browned, 4-5 minutes each side. • Transfer chicken to lined oven tray and roast until almost cooked through, 20-25 minutes. • Pour over sticky plum sauce mixture and roast for another 5-10 minutes, until cooked through. Set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, trim and halve baby broccoli. • Trim pea pods. • Thinly slice spring onion.
• When chicken has 10 minutes of cook time remaining, wipe out pan and return to medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook baby broccoli, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add pea pods and cook, until tender, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl. • Add Japanese dressing and toss to combine. Cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Add spring onion, then crack egg into the pan and scramble until cooked through, 1 minute. • Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook garlic paste, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Squeeze microwaveable basmati rice packet to loosen rice.
