Ingredients
1.5 lbs Chicken Breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 cups Jasmine Rice, uncooked and rinsed
0.5 cup Soy Sauce, low-sodium
0.3 cup Honey
1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, minced
3 cloves Garlic, minced
2.5 cups Chicken Broth
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
3 stalks Green Onions, sliced for garnish
Neutral oil for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with a light coating of neutral oil.
Whisk the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl until fully emulsified.
Spread the rinsed jasmine rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Place the raw chicken cubes in a single layer over the rice.
Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture and the chicken broth evenly over the chicken and rice.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the moisture.
Bake for 35 minutes or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the foil and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
Ensure the baking dish is well-sealed with foil to allow the rice to steam properly in the flavorful liquid. For a crispier finish, you may broil the dish for 2-3 minutes after the initial baking time, but watch closely to prevent the honey from burning. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
