Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons canola, vegetable or other high-temperature cooking oil
- 1 cup white rice
- 1 small bunch scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
- 6 chicken cutlets or chicken thighs or 6 thin pork loin chops
- 1 large bundle broccolini or 1 head broccoli
- Salt
- 1 1/2 inches fresh gingerroot, peeled and finely chopped or grated
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons tamari (aged soy sauce)
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 1/2 cup roasted unsalted cashews
Directions
In a sauce pot, heat 1 1/2 cups of the stock and 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and stir in the rice. Lower the heat and bring to a bubble, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add the scallions.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the chicken or pork.
Trim the broccolini or broccoli and cut into 2-inch pieces or florets. Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a shallow pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Salt the water and cook the broccolini or florets until tender-crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Heat a large skillet over high heat while the broccolini cooks. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the oil and when it begins to smoke or ripple, add the chicken and brown it for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, then transfer it to a plate. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the pan, stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tamari, the marmalade, and the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Slide the chicken, broccolini, and cashews into the pan and stir to combine with the sauce. Simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Scoop the chicken mixture into serving dishes, top with a scoop of rice, and serve.

I like this recipe but had to make a lot of adjustments. The sauce is too thin so added corn starch. Broccoli does not need to be pre-cooked, it became too soft. Also, I added more marmalade and some orange zest to boast the orange flavor. I agree this recipe should have been better.

If I could give this a 0 stars I would. Run not walk away from this recipe. I have no clue who the heck is reviewing this recipe as 5 stars, but they obviously either do not know how to cook, or they are used to eating crappy food. The sauce is watery, the chicken is overcooked, there is NO flavor, the rice is hard, I have nothing good to say. I feel as if I just swallowed a brick, only because I was so starving and it took so long to make that I thought I'd at least try it. This is the truth and I know how to cook. I went to culinary school and I made better food there. Ugggg.
