Recipe Instructions

Combine orange juice, green onion, ginger root, garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and sesame oil in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and marinate while starting side dishes and heating grill or broiler.

Cook rice either in a rice cooker or saucepan according to package directions. Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet. Chop parsley. Set both aside.

Boil water to steam broccoli. Grill or broil chicken about 7 minutes per side, basting second side with marinade when turning (discard marinade at this point).

After turning chicken, steam broccoli. When rice is done, toss with pine nuts and parsley. Dot broccoli with butter.

An attractive presentation for the rice is to spoon it inside an oiled (or sprayed) custard cup, then unmold onto a serving plate.

This recipe yields 2 servings.
