How to make it
1
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
• Peel and mince ginger until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Zest and quarter lime.
2
• Melt 1 TBSP butter(2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the minced ginger(you’ll use the rest later); cook, stirring, until softened, 1 minute.
• Stir in rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water(2 1⁄4 cups for 4), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
• Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
3
• While rice cooks, toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
4
• While broccoli roasts, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a cutting board. Remove pan from heat to cool slightly.
5
• Return pan used for chicken to medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, minced garlic, and remaining minced ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
• Add jam, ponzu, and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Stir, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until combined and thickened, 3-4 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and a squeeze of lime juice to taste.
6
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in as much lime zest as you like. Season with salt to taste.
• Slice chicken crosswise.
• Divide rice, chicken, and broccoli between plates. Drizzle pan sauce over chicken. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
