This garlic soy sauce chicken is easy enough for a weeknight, but tastes like something truly special. Super fast and packed with flavor. The chicken thighs are impossibly juicy and tender, while the cauliflower has a nice crisp-tender bite. It’s delicious, slightly spicy and hinted with ginger and garlic. To complete the meal, we boil noodles or make a pot of rice while we cook the chicken. Bonus? It comes together in about 25 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights when you’re looking for something a little more funky.
And the sauce? It’s sticky, super savory and a little spicy. Although you can make it as spicy as you can handle. It’s made with flavor bombs like soy sauce, sesame oil, tahini, chili sauce, ginger and garlic. You’ll love it!
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.
RECIPE NOTES
- You can throw practically any vegetable into the pan instead of the cauliflower, fresh or frozen, and it’ll get cooked in this stunning sauce. You can use broccoli, green beans, carrots or corn.
- Instead of noodles or rice, serve with spiralized zucchini.
- Add nuts for more crunchy textures, like cashews or peanuts.
