SOY-HONEY CHICKEN WITH LEMON BROCCOLI RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Soy-Honey Chicken With Lemon Broccoli Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by ltrodrigu

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 pounds skin-on chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Zest of 1/2 orange
Zest of 2 lemons, plus juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 large head broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets (about 8 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, toss chicken with garlic, a generous pinch of black pepper, orange zest and half the lemon zest. Rub seasoning all over chicken. In a medium baking dish, mix soy sauce, honey and lemon juice until honey dissolves. Lay chicken in marinade, flesh-side down, and marinate at least 10 minutes. (If marinating more than 1 hour, make sure marinade doesn't cover skin.) Remove chicken from marinade and transfer to a roasting pan, skin-side up. Lightly brush marinade over chicken, then transfer to oven. Reserve marinade. Roast until just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Brush chicken with marinade twice during roasting. Meanwhile, toss broccoli with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place in a microwave-safe bowl and cover tightly with two layers of plastic wrap. Microwave on high until broccoli is tender but still has some crunch, 2-3 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a serving bowl. Top with remaining lemon zest. Serve broccoli alongside chicken. Drizzle chicken pan juices over top.

Tips:

Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid crowns with yellowing or wilted florets.
Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets. If the florets are large, you can cut them in half lengthwise.
Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help to ensure that the broccoli cooks evenly.
Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the broccoli will steam instead of stir-frying.
Stir-fry the broccoli over high heat: High heat will help to quickly cook the broccoli and prevent it from becoming soggy.
Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end will help to prevent it from burning.
Serve the broccoli immediately: Broccoli is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Lemon soy broccoli is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The combination of lemon and soy sauce is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone at your table.
