Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 medium cucumber
1 small red onion, cut in half, sliced (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon finely chopped gingerroot
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Hot cooked rice, if desired
Black sesame seed or toasted sesame seed, if desired

Steps:

  • In medium glass or plastic bowl, mix cider vinegar, granulated sugar, pepper flakes, salt and pepper until sugar is dissolved. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise; remove seeds with spoon. Cut each half crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Add cucumber and onion to bowl; toss to coat. Set aside; stir occasionally.
  • In small bowl, mix brown sugar, broth, rice vinegar and soy sauce until sugar is almost dissolved; set aside. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, gingerroot and garlic; cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is lightly browned.
  • Add broth mixture to skillet. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and sauce is thickened and reduced by half.
  • Serve chicken and sauce over rice. Top with pickled cucumber and onion; sprinkle with sesame seed.
