Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, trim snow peas.
  • Thinly slice green onion.
  • Peel, then cut carrot into 1/4-inch half-moons.  
  • Add panko to a shallow bowl. Set aside. 
  • Add ketchup, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water, half the soy sauce (use all for 4 ppl) and 3/4 tsp (1 1/2 tsp) sugar to a small microwavable bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
Prep chicken
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Coat chicken all over with mayo.
  • Working with one chicken thigh at a time, press both sides into panko to coat completely.
Cook chicken
4
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add 2 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 ppl, using 2 tbsp oil per batch).
  • Pan-fry on one side until golden-brown, 4-5 min. Flip each piece and add another 1 tbsp oil. Pan-fry until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: If chicken browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium!)
  • Transfer to a wire rack.
  • Carefully wipe pan clean with paper towels.
Cook snow peas
5
  • Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the same pan (used in step 4), then carrots, snow peas and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Cook, stirring often until tender-crisp and water has evaporated, 4-5 min.
  • Remove the pan from heat, then season with salt and pepper. 
  • Meanwhile, heat BBQ sauce mixture in microwave until warmed through, 1 min. (TIP: If you don't have a microwave, heat sauce in a small pot over medium heat!) Set aside. 
Finish and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in green onions and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Season with salt. 
  • Divide rice between bowls, then top with veggies and chicken. 
  • Drizzle BBQ sauce mixture over top.

If you've opted to get chicken thighs, skip the step to butterfly, then prepare and cook them in the same way the recipe instructs you to prepare and cook the chicken breasts.
