SOY-HONEY CHICKEN WITH LEMON BROCCOLI RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Soy-Honey Chicken With Lemon Broccoli Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by ltrodrigu

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds skin-on chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Zest of 1/2 orange
Zest of 2 lemons, plus juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 large head broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets (about 8 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, toss chicken with garlic, a generous pinch of black pepper, orange zest and half the lemon zest. Rub seasoning all over chicken. In a medium baking dish, mix soy sauce, honey and lemon juice until honey dissolves. Lay chicken in marinade, flesh-side down, and marinate at least 10 minutes. (If marinating more than 1 hour, make sure marinade doesn't cover skin.) Remove chicken from marinade and transfer to a roasting pan, skin-side up. Lightly brush marinade over chicken, then transfer to oven. Reserve marinade. Roast until just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Brush chicken with marinade twice during roasting. Meanwhile, toss broccoli with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place in a microwave-safe bowl and cover tightly with two layers of plastic wrap. Microwave on high until broccoli is tender but still has some crunch, 2-3 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a serving bowl. Top with remaining lemon zest. Serve broccoli alongside chicken. Drizzle chicken pan juices over top.

Tips:

  • Select tender-crisp broccoli: Look for broccoli florets that are a deep green color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has wilted florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and rinse them well under cold water. Drain the broccoli thoroughly before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the dish. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but it will not have the same flavor as fresh lemon juice.
  • Don't add the soy sauce too early: Soy sauce can make the broccoli tough if it is added too early in the cooking process. Add the soy sauce towards the end of cooking, just before serving.

Conclusion:

Lemon soy broccoli is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The bright, citrusy flavor of the lemon and the savory flavor of the soy sauce complement each other perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
