This simple chicken meal is perfect for when you have a tad more time in the evenings. It is easy to prepare and perfect for family meals or to eat alone:
Ingredients:
For the main:
-Chicken fillets
-A whisked egg (use more egg dependent on how many fillets you are making)
-Breadcrumbs (homemade or bought)
-Brown rice (I go on the basis of 65g per person but that can vary dependent on hunger)
-Salad
For the Sauce (1 cup):
-1 cup of water
-2.5 tbsp of brown sugar
-2 tbsp of soy sauce
-1 tbsp of honey or golden syrup
-a single clove of garlic finely chopped
-1/4 tsp of ground ginger
-Thickener (This can be cornstarch or flour but if flour is used it will require more mixing)
Steps:
-Heat the oven to 180°c
-Place water in a saucepan and wait for it to boil
-While the water is boiling coat the chicken fillets in egg and then in breadcrumbs next place on a baking tray
-Put the rice in the saucepan and bring down to a simmer then put the chicken into the oven cook both for around 25 mins
-While the rice and chicken is cooking combine the the thickener and 1/4 of the water in a cup and put the remaining water, sugar, soy sauce, honey, garlic and ginger in a pan and put over a low-medium heat.
-Slowly add the thickening mixture until desired thickness
-Lower the heat or the sauce and prepare the salad.
-When the rice and chicken is ready serve it on a plate along with the salad. Next drizzle the teriyaki sauce on each plate. Enjoy!
