Hoisin Glazed Chicken with Rice

1Prepare the chicken breasts (2) by patting them dry with paper towels.

2In a small bowl, mix hoisin sauce (2 tablespoons), soy sauce (1 tablespoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), ginger powder (1 teaspoon), and sesame oil (1 teaspoon) to make the marinade.

3Place the chicken breasts (2) in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

4Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

5Place the marinated chicken breasts (2) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, basting with the marinade halfway through.

6While the chicken is baking, rinse the rice (1 cup) under cold water (2 cups) until the water (2 cups) runs clear. Drain the rice (1 cup) and transfer it to a pot.

7Add water (2 cups) to the pot with rice (1 cup) and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice (1 cup) is tender and the water (2 cups) is absorbed.

8Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

9Serve the hoisin glazed chicken over a bed of steamed rice (1 cup).
