Preparation
Cook the rice
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Roast the vegetables
- Meanwhile, peel and medium-dice the kohlrabi.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli (halve if large) and kohlrabi with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender.
Cook & coat the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry; season with S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 2 to 4 min. per side, until cooked through.
- Add the garlic and lemongrass (add ⅔ for a milder flavour). Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the chili sauce and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice between your plates.
- Top with the vegetables and chicken.
- Spoon the sauce over. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
