Ingredients
  1. 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  2. 1/2 cup water
  3. 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  4. 1 tablespoon honey
  5. 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  6. 1 teaspoon olive oil
  7. 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  8. 2 tablespoons corn starch
  9. 2 tablespoons water
  10. 4 large chicken breasts
  11. 2 cups broccoli, cut into small florets
  12. 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  13. 2 sweet peppers, sliced lengthwise
  14. Uncle Ben’s Garlic Butter rice, entire package
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350.
  2. Start cooking the rice, while rice is simmering move on to the next step
  3. Combine the soy sauce, the ½ cup water, the brown sugar, honey, ginger, olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan and cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove lid and cook for one minute once boiling.
  4. While waiting for the sauce to come to a boil, stir together the corn starch and 2 tablespoons of water in a separate dish until smooth to form a slurry. Once the sauce is boiling, add the slurry to the saucepan and stir in to combine. Cook for another minute until the sauce starts to thicken and then remove from heat.
  5. Lay the raw chicken breasts flat in a 9×13 casserole dish and pour about a cup of the sauce over top of the chicken. Place the chicken in the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes until breasts are cooked through*. Remove the dish from the oven and shred the chicken right in the dish using two forks.
Notes
  1. *While the chicken is cooking, steam all the vegetables together
  2. When the chicken is shredded and the vegetables are cooked, add the vegetables and rice to the casserole dish with the chicken. Add the remaining sauce, stir everything together in the casserole dish until well combined and serve.
