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.
If you've opted to get chicken thighs, prep and sear in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and sear chicken breasts.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Ease of prep: Some found the cooking process for chicken thighs unnecessarily complex, suggesting skipping the oven step after pan-frying.
- Suggestions: Consider cooking the chicken directly in the sauce for more flavor; pan-frying alone may be sufficient for thighs.
