How to Make Asian Style Chicken Broccoli And Ziti
- Marinate 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in ½ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup honey, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 tsp grated ginger for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
- Cook 1 lb ziti pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Steam 1 large head of broccoli florets until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
- Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side).
- Add the cooked ziti and steamed broccoli to the skillet with the chicken.
- Pour ¼ cup chicken broth or water into the skillet to help create a sauce. Stir to combine.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
