Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 1 cup water

  • cup maple syrup

  • 3 tablespoons dark sesame oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root

  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

  • 5 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 1 cup brown rice

  • 2 cups water

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

  1. Mix the soy sauce, 1 cup water, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Set aside 1/3 cup of the mixture. Place the chicken in the bag, seal, and marinate at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. Place the rice in a saucepan with 2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 45 minutes.

  3. Preheat the oven broiler. Lightly grease a baking dish.

  4. Pour marinade from the bag into a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Mix in the cornstarch, and cook and stir until thickened.

  5. Place chicken in the prepared baking dish. Basting frequently with the reserved 1/3 cup marinade, broil 8 minutes per side, until juices run clear. Place chicken over the cooked rice, and top with boiled marinade to serve.
