Step 1

Cook rice in advance to serve with this recipe (this is optional). We use a rice cooker.

Step 2

Cut each chicken thigh in half.

Step 3

In a bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, ginger powder, and brown sugar.

Step 4

Heat a large pot with a bit of cooking oil over medium high heat. Once the pot is hot, sear the chicken on each side until browned. About 5 minutes total.

Step 5

Add the broccoli to the pot. Pour the sauce over top and toss everything together. Cover with a lid and let it simmer until the broccoli is tender crisp when poked with a fork. Scoop the broccoli and chicken onto a serving dish. Mix 1 Tbsp of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water in a bowl. Pour into the sauce in the pot. Stir frequently and heat through until the sauce has thickened.

Step 6

Serve this recipe with fresh rice. Drizzle the sauce from the pot over top of everything.
