Ginger and Spring Onion Chicken

4

10 mins

Tender chicken cooked with fresh ginger, garlic and plenty of spring onions in a light, savoury sauce, with crunchy green beans and broccoli. It's made in one pan and ready in 30 minutes. Lean chicken and lots of green veg provide protein and fibre to keep you full, served over brown rice.

Ingredients
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 x 500g pack skinless, boneless chicken thigh fillets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 bunch spring onions, cut into long strips (white and green parts kept separate)
  • 2.5cm piece of ginger, grated (or ½ tsp ground ginger)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed (or ½ tsp garlic granules)
  • 250ml boiling water, with 1 reduced-salt chicken stock cube dissolved in it
  • 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 500g green beans, trimmed (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 head broccoli (around 300g), cut into florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp cornflour, mixed with 1 tbsp cold water
  • 2 x 250g pouches microwave brown rice (or 200g dry brown rice)

Instructions

1.

Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden on all sides (6–8 minutes).

2.

Add the ginger, garlic and the white parts of the spring onions, and cook until fragrant (1 minute).

3.

Pour in the stock and soy sauce, and add the green beans and broccoli. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through with no pink meat (6–8 minutes).

4.

Stir in the cornflour mixture and let it bubble, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly (1 minute).

5.

Meanwhile, heat the rice according to the pack instructions.

6.

Scatter the green parts of the spring onions over the chicken and serve with the rice.

Storage information

Cool within 1 hour, then refrigerate the chicken for up to 2 days and the rice for no more than 1 day. Freeze the chicken and vegetables, without the rice, for up to 3 months, although the vegetables will be softer. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot all the way through. Reheat rice only once.

Tip

Lower carb: Skip the rice and add 200g frozen edamame beans with the green beans.
