Instructions
Cook the rice according to packet directions. Keep warm.
Make the teriyaki sauce: combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger and a splash of water in a small bowl.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5–6 minutes until golden.
Flip and cook for a further 4–5 minutes until cooked through.
Pour the teriyaki sauce into the pan. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, turning the chicken, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
Steam or microwave the broccoli until just tender.
Slice the chicken and serve over rice with broccoli.
Spoon the remaining sauce over the top and finish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion.
