RECIPE DECISION NOTES
Is this the right meal for today?
This meal pairs a soy-ginger chicken skillet with rice and broccoli. The ingredient list includes mirin, so check that pantry item before treating chicken and soy sauce as enough to make the recipe.
Plan the method before you start
Start the rice first and prepare the sauce before cooking chicken. The thermometer check in the method determines doneness; the minutes per side are estimates that change with thickness.

Make something good
- 01
Start the rice according to its packet directions. Steam the broccoli for 4–5 minutes until tender.
- 02
Mix soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and ginger. Pat chicken dry and heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- 03
Cook chicken for about 6–8 minutes per side, adjusting for thickness, until the thickest part reaches 74°C / 165°F on a food thermometer.
- 04
Add the sauce and simmer for 1–2 minutes until glossy; add a splash of water if it reduces too far. Slice and serve with rice, broccoli, and optional sesame seeds.
