Ingredients

  • Chicken breast - 300 grams, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Brussels sprouts - 250 grams, halved
  • Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons (ensure it's kosher)
  • Sriracha sauce - 2 teaspoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Honey - 1 tablespoon
  • Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
  • Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Sesame seeds - for garnish
  • Green onions - 2, chopped, for garnish

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, Sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, honey, and cornstarch to create a marinade.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the Brussels sprouts. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
  6. In a large skillet or wok, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  7. Add the marinated chicken (discard the excess marinade) to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
  8. Once the chicken is cooked, add the roasted Brussels sprouts to the skillet and toss everything together, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
