Ingredients
For the Chicken and Marinade
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs halved
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine or Mirin or dry sherry
- ¼ cup oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
For the Rice
- 1 ½ cups long grain white rice uncooked
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 green onions whites only
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables thawed
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry or Mirin or cooking sake
- 1 ½ cups chicken stock or chicken broth, low sodium
- 1 ½ cups hot water
Garnish:
- green onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- Mix Chicken and Marinade in a bowl. Set aside for at least 20 minutes, up to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Place rice ingredients, including oil, soy sauce, cooking wine, stock, and water, in a medium pot and bring to a boil.
- Pour liquid into a 9x13 pan and add the rice and vegetables spreading them out evenly.
- Remove chicken pieces from the marinade (reserving marinade) and place on top - chicken will be partially submerged in the liquid.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove foil, baste the chicken with remaining Marinade (dab it on generously), spray chicken with oil then bake for a further 20 minutes until chicken is caramalized, the liquid is absorbed and rice is fluffy. If you want more caramelization on the chicken, flick the broiler on for a few minutes.
- Set aside for 10 minutes before fluffing rice then serving, garnished with scallions if using.

Notes
- If you want to use chicken breast, put rice in oven without chicken. Then when you remove the foil, add the chicken breast on top of the rice at that stage.
