FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Prepare the broth with hot water. Preheat the oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan-forced). Peel and finely grate the ginger. Chop the garlic. Peel and cut the carrot into 0.5 cm half-moons. Cut the broccoli into florets and the stems into pieces. In a baking dish, mix the vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a knife easily goes through.
• 2.   Heat a knob of butter over medium-high heat in a saucepan. Sauté the garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes. Add the rice and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and cook the rice for 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes, covered.
• 3.   Cut the chicken into strips. In a shallow plate, mix the flour with a pinch of salt. In a second plate, beat ½ egg per person with a fork. In a third plate, mix the panko breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. First, coat the chicken in flour until evenly covered. Then, dip it in the egg and finally in the panko breadcrumb mixture. Set aside.
• 4.   Mix the soy sauce and honey in a small bowl.
• 5.   Heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat in a sauté pan. Cook the chicken for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through. Once the chicken is in the oven, pour the honey and soy sauce mixture over the vegetables and mix well. Bake the vegetables again if they are not fully cooked yet.
• 6.   Serve the vegetables and rice in shallow plates. Place the chicken on top of the rice.
