INGREDIENTS
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 4 generous cups broccoli flowerets
- 1 T peanut oil
- black sesame seeds for garnish (optional; regular sesame seeds are also fine)
MARINADE/GLAZE INGREDIENTS
- 1/3 cup soy sauce (see notes)
- 1 T unseasoned rice vinegar (don't use seasoned vinegar which contains sugar)
- 1 T + 1 tsp.Asian Sesame Oil
- 1 T granulated sweetener of your choice (see notes)
- 1 T sugar-free maple syrup (see notes)
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
INSTRUCTIONS
- Trim chicken breasts removing any fat and undesirable parts and cut the chicken into pieces about 1 inch square.
- Mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sweetener, maple syrup, and garlic powder to make the marinade/glaze.
- Put chicken pieces in a Ziploc bag or plastic container with a snap-tight lid and add the marinade, reserving 1/4 cup marinade to glaze the chicken and broccoli with after it's cooked.
- Let chicken marinate in the fridge at least 4-5 hours, or all day while you're at work will be fine.
- When you're ready to cook, drain the chicken in a colander placed in the sink.
- Cover baking sheet with foil (or spray the heated pan later with non-stick spray if you're not using foil.) Put the baking sheet into the oven and preheat to 425F/220C.
- When the oven has come to temperature, spray with non-stick spray if you didn't use foil, put chicken pieces on the hot baking sheet, and put it back into the oven, and cook 8 minutes.
- While chicken cooks, trim the broccoli, cut into same-size florets, and put broccoli into a bowl and toss with the peanut oil.
- After 8 minutes, remove baking sheet and tuck the broccoli pieces among the pieces of chicken on the baking sheet.
- Put it back into the oven and cook 12-14 minutes more, or until chicken and broccoli is done to your liking.
- Brush the hot chicken and broccoli with the reserved glaze, and garnish with Black Sesame Seeds (affiliate link) or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot
