Monday we celebrated our wedding anniversary here at FYK. I asked Hubby if he had any special dinner requests and he asked for some kind of chicken thighs (his favorite,) so I decided to make this upscaled version of chicken, broccoli and rice. Vegetarian Girl skipped the chicken and added some edamame for protein.
Asian-Glazed Chicken Thighs, from Sheila Lukins’ (RIP, such a talented lady) final cookbook, Ten. Recipe here. I made rice to accompany, because I used the last of our rice noodles to make spring rolls recently and keep forgetting to buy more. The marinade/sauce in this recipe tastes EXACTLY like the sauce used in P.F. Chang’s Orange Peel Chicken (my favorite thing there,) so it would be easy to adapt this recipe if you’re trying to recreate that (just stir-fry bite-sized chicken breast chunks until crispy, reduce the sauce a little to thicken it and then add some thick strips of orange peel.)
Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Red Pepper. Easy and surprisingly tasty and sweet. Recipe here.
