Ingredients
main
0.75 cup soy sauce
0.5 cup water
0.25 cup brown sugar
0.5 tsp ground ginger
0.5 tsp minced garlic
4 tbsp cornstarch
0.125 cup water (for slurry)
2 pcs chicken breasts
12 oz stir-fry vegetables
3 cup brown rice (cooked)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F and spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
Combine soy sauce, 0.5 cup water, brown sugar, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan and cover; bring to a boil over medium heat.
Stir cornstarch with 2 tablespoons (0.125 cup) water until smooth to make a slurry.
Remove lid from the sauce once boiling and cook one minute, then add the cornstarch slurry and stir until sauce thickens; remove from heat.
Place chicken breasts in the prepared pan and pour 1 cup of the sauce over the chicken; bake 35 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove chicken and shred in the dish using two forks.
Meanwhile cook or steam the vegetables according to package directions.
Add cooked vegetables and cooked brown rice to the casserole dish with shredded chicken.
Add most of the remaining sauce, reserving some to drizzle when serving, and gently toss to combine.
Return casserole to oven and cook 15 minutes, then remove and let stand 5 minutes before serving; drizzle with reserved sauce.
