Categories     Chicken     Kid-Friendly     Honey     Soy Sauce     Vinegar     Ginger     Broccoli     Rice     Green Onion/Scallion     Sesame Oil     Small Plates     Dinner     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 Tbsp. honey
3 Tbsp. soy sauce or tamari
3 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tsp. finely grated ginger (from one 2" piece)
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
Steamed rice (for serving)
Sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and hot sesame oil (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Whisk honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger in a small bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Pat chicken dry and season with 1 tsp. salt. Cook cut side up (you want the smooth side with the most surface area to hit the pan first) until deeply golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken and reduce heat to medium-low. Turn chicken and continue to cook, spooning sauce over occasionally, until sauce is syrupy and chicken is cooked through, 6-8 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with about 1" salted water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until just tender, 4-5 minutes. Season broccoli with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.
  • Transfer chicken to a platter. Spoon any remaining sauce over. Serve with rice and broccoli alongside. Top chicken with scallions, sesame seeds, and sesame oil (if using).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken and broccoli will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, buy organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and other chemicals.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
  • Make the dill sauce ahead of time: The dill sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Chicken and broccoli with dill sauce is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Chicken and broccoli with dill sauce is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its fresh ingredients and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
