Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Lightly oil the grill. While you prep, preheat the grill to medium (approx. 400°F). - Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
- Heat a medium pot over medium-high (use a large pot for 4 servings).
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine soy sauce mirin blend, brown sugar, ginger-garlic paste and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water.
- Add soy sauce mixture and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce to medium-low. Simmer for 8-10 min, until chicken is cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, to another medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, trim snow peas, then cut in half.
- Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. Using a strainer, rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any hidden dirt.
- In a medium bowl, toss snow peas, bok choy, remaining garlic salt and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Layer two 24x12-inch pieces of foil.
- Arrange veggie mixture on one side of the foil.
- Fold foil in half over veggie mixture and pinch edges to seal pouch. (NOTE: For 4 servings, make 2 pouches, using 2 sheets of foil per pouch.)
- Gather foil pouch veggies, pot with chicken and braising liquid, a clean plate for cooked chicken, a silicone brush and any grilling tools.
- Head out to grill.
- Place foil pouch veggies on one side of the grill. Close lid and grill for 6-8 min, until tender.
- Meanwhile, add chicken to other side of the grill. Leave braising liquid in pot. Close lid and cook for 2-3 min, until grill marks form.
- When chicken is almost done, brush one side with some glaze from pot, then flip. Grill for 30 sec, then repeat with other side.
- Transfer chicken to the clean plate.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the green onions.
- Carefully open foil pouch.
- Thinly slice chicken, if desired.
- Divide rice between plates. Top with veggies and chicken.
- Drizzle any remaining sauce over top, then sprinkle remaining green onions over top.
