Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
- Heat a medium pot over medium.
- While pot heats, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- When the pot is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, rice and garlic. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to low.
- Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- While rice cooks, core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
- Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- While pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then chicken. Pan-fry for 1-2 min per side until golden. (NOTE: Cook chicken in 2 batches for 4 servings, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.)
- Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**
- While chicken roasts, heat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add broccoli and 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed and broccoli begins to soften.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook for 4-5 min stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer veggies to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- While veggies cook, to a medium bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water.
- Add sauce mixture to the same pan (from step 4). Bring to a boil over medium. Cook for 1-2 min, whisking often, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Fluff rice with a fork.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide rice between plates.
- Top with veggies and chicken.
- Drizzle sauce over chicken or serve alongside.
- Sprinkle cashews over top.
- Drizzle sriracha over top.
