Ingredients
8 chicken tenders, about 1 pound
Kosher salt
5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoon sambal or chili-garlic sauce
4 scallions, thinly sliced, greens and whites kept separately
2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
8 ounces snow peas, trimmed
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, caps sliced and stems discarded (about 12)
3 cups frozen brown rice
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Directions
Special equipment:
parchment paper- Position 2 racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Cut four 16-inch long sheets of parchment paper. Fold each sheet in half and open like a book. Divide the pieces of parchment between 2 baking sheets (2 pieces per sheet).
- Trim away the tendon attached to the thicker part of the tenderloin with kitchen shears and discard. Sprinkle the chicken all over with 3/4 teaspoon salt.
- Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sambal, scallion whites, ginger, and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Place snow peas and shiitakes in a medium bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce mixture.
- Mound 3/4 cup brown rice on each parchment sheet, placing it on one side of the fold, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon water. Top with the vegetables, and two chicken tenders per serving, tucking as many of the vegetables as possible under the chicken. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the soy sauce mixture evenly over each serving of chicken. (You should have some left over for drizzling later.)
- Fold over the top half of the parchment, crimping and overlapping small folds along the open edge to seal tightly. Bake until the parchment puffs, 18 minutes; chicken will be cooked through. Transfer the packets to plates and let stand 2 minutes. Avoiding the hot steam, carefully cut open the packets. Drizzle remaining soy sauce mixture over the chicken and rice. Top with scallion greens, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
