A delightful chicken dish with a savory garlic soy sauce, paired with vibrant vegetables and served over rice.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.
Using a non-stick skillet can help reduce the amount of oil needed.
Add the chicken breasts and cook until lightly browned on both sides.
Ensure the chicken is evenly browned for a better texture.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cover the chicken with foil to keep it warm.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, and 1 cup of chicken broth in a bowl, then pour into the skillet.
Whisk the sauce ingredients well to dissolve the sugar completely.
Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Simmering allows the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Remove the chicken again and set aside. Mix the remaining broth with cornstarch and add to the skillet.
Stir constantly to avoid lumps forming in the sauce.
Bring the sauce to a boil to thicken, then return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce.
Boiling activates the cornstarch, thickening the sauce effectively.
Steam the broccoli, carrots, and peas until tender.
Steaming preserves the nutrients and vibrant colors of the vegetables.
Serve the chicken and vegetables over cooked rice.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
