A delicious and savory dish featuring chicken braised in a flavorful soy sauce with a variety of colorful vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season lightly with black pepper.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken skin-side down and sear for 4–5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chicken broth, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
  7. Cover and cook over low heat for 25–30 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through.
  8. Add carrots and bell pepper. Cover and simmer for another 8–10 minutes.
  9. Add broccoli during the last 4–5 minutes of cooking to keep it tender-crisp.
  10. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F at the thickest part.
  11. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer uncovered for 1–2 minutes.
  12. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
  • Feel free to substitute vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles.
