step 1

Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Quarter the lime(s). Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic (or 4 cloves for 4 servings). Roughly chop the peanuts. In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, honey, soy glaze, 1/4 cup of water (or 1/2 cup for 4 servings), and as much of the gochujang as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

step 2

Roast the broccoli

Line a sheet pan with foil. Transfer the broccoli florets to the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 14 to 18 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Evenly top with the juice of 2 lime wedges (or 4 wedges for 4 servings); carefully toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

step 3

Cook the rice

Meanwhile, carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water (or 2 cups for 4 servings). Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. In a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the chopped garlic and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. Add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the chicken is coated and cooked through. Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked rice topped with the roasted broccoli and cooked chicken (including any sauce from the pan). Garnish with the chopped peanuts and sesame seeds. Serve the remaining lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
