Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/Gas 6
  • Place broccoli on a large sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a teaspoon of paprika, and salt to taste. Toss to combine. Roast for 25 minutes until broccoli is tender.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the rice by rinsing it under cool running water until it runs clear to remove the starch.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a Dutch oven or saucepan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add carrots, potatoes, and peas. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the washed rice, 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, and the chili flakes. Season with salt to taste.
  • Add water to the pot and increase the heat to high. Cook for 5 minutes or until the water begins to boil. Cover and lower the heat to medium and cook for 7-8 minutes.
  • Remove from Dutch oven from the heat and leave covered while rice rests.
  • Add the chicken thighs, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of Siracha to a large bowl. Mix to combine.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add sesame oil to the skillet. When hot, add the chicken mixture. Sauté for 7-8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • When ready to serve, add rice mixture to deep serving bowls. Top with chicken and roasted broccoli.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
