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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
