Teriyaki Chicken with Ginger Rice

Our family loves Asian cuisine.  So much so that we have an Asian food night every now and again.  I was searching for a new recipe and saw an episode of Sandra Lee’s Money Saving Meals while I was on vacation.  This Teriyaki Chicken and Ginger Rice recipe is delicious and cheap to make.

Ingredients
  1. 1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  2. 1/4 cup brown sugar
  3. 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  4. 1 (1-inch) piece peeled, fresh ginger, divided use, 1/2 grated the other half thinly sliced
  5. 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  7. 2 cups brown rice
  8. 1 teaspoon salt
  9. 3 1/2 cups water
  10. 2 bunches scallions, ends removed
Instructions
  1. 1.In a large plastic resealable bag, add the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and grated ginger and mix until the sugar is dissolved. Put the chicken thighs into the bag with the marinade. Seal and refrigerate at least 2 hours or as long as overnight.
  2. 2. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  3. 3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and set aside. Put the marinade in a pot over medium heat and reduce by half. Oil the grill grates with olive oil, arrange the chicken on the grill, and cook for 8 minutes per side. Brush the chicken liberally with the reduced marinade before turning.
  4. 4. In a medium pot combine the rice, sliced ginger, salt and 3 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let cook until the rice has absorbed all the water and is fluffy, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, put the scallions on the grill. Grill for about 2 minutes per side. These will be for garnish for your dish.
  6. Transfer the rice to a serving platter, discarding the sliced ginger. Top with the cooked chicken, garnish with grilled scallions and serve.
