Instructions
Heat your oven to 200C. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve, peel and chop the red onion into 8 wedges. Chop the broccoli into florets (like small trees!) halving any larger ones. In a small bowl mix the hoisin sauce with the soy sauce and garlic.
Pop the chicken and half the hoisin mixture into a high sided roasting tin with a drizzle of oil. Mix well to make sure everything is coated. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat. Roast for 15 mins on the middle shelf of your oven.
Meanwhile pour the water for the rice (see ingredients for amount) into a saucepan and bring to the boil. When boiling, add a pinch of salt, stir in the rice, lower the heat to medium and pop a lid on the pan. Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Once the chicken has been cooking for 15 mins, add the broccoli florets and red onion to the baking tray and mix them into the chicken. Return to the oven and roast until the broccoli is just tender and slightly browned on the edges and the chicken is cooked through, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, heat a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds (no oil) and cook until golden, stirring regularly, 2-3 mins.Remove from the pan and set aside. Just before the chicken is ready, add the remaining sauce mixture to the frying pan and simmer for 1 min, until thickened slightly. Add a splash of water to loosen if you like.
Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between plates. Serve with the chicken, onion and broccoli on top, pouring over any juices from the roasting tin. Reheat the sauce if needed then spoon over the sauce and scatter over the toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Step 2 MOD: If you've chosen to receive chicken breast instead of chicken thigh, just cook the chicken breast for 15 mins in the step above rather than 10 mins. Follow the rest of the recipe as instructed.it the same way the recipe tells you to cook the thigh in the step above and in the rest of the recipe.
