Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Whisk the miso, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and oil in a jug. Add the chicken to a large, high-sided roasting tin, then pour over the miso mixture and toss to coat. Spread into an even layer, then roast for 20 mins, tossing occasionally, until the chicken is lightly golden and the sauce is starting to thicken.
  2. Meanwhile, rinse the rice well in a sieve under cold running water for 1-2 mins, until the water runs clear, then add to a large, lidded pan with 700ml water; cover and set aside.
  3. Add the broccoli and red onions to the chicken tray and use a spatula to turn everything in the sticky miso sauce to coat. Roast for another 20-25 mins, tossing occasionally, until everything is golden, the chicken is cooked through, and the broccoli is al dente.
  4. Meanwhile, bring the covered rice pan to the boil: once bubbling, turn the heat to low-medium. Simmer for 12-15 mins until the rice has swollen, then use the lid to drain off any excess water and leave covered, until ready to serve. Divide between bowls, then top with the chicken and veg, spooning over any sauce from the tray. Scatter with the spring onions to serve.
