This was a delicious dinner that my family loved. The chicken was new for us, but the green beans are always a hit. I served it with organic white rice (my 4 year old’s request). I broiled it and it blackened the chicken skin… I think that next time I’d just try baking this or grilling it.
Hoisin Marinaded Chicken
you’ll need~
8 chicken thighs
2 cups hoisin sauce
1 1/2 – 2 heads of minced garlic (my hands hurt from squeezing the garlic press hurt so much!)
a bunch of minced ginger (how ever much you can handle/like… I didn’t measure, but did use quite a bit)
1 tbsp red pepper flakes
2 bunches of scallions
1 cup chicken broth
salt and pepper
Combine all ingredients except chicken in a large zipper baggie. Add chicken and marinate for several hours… although overnight is better for getting the flavor in there!
Preheat the broiler (though like I said, I think I’ll try a different cooking method next time).
Broil until juices run clear, about 15 minutes, keep an eye on them.
Garlic Sauteed Green Beans
you’ll need~
2 cans french cut green beans
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
olive oil
2 tbsp butter
dash of red pepper flakes
salt to taste
Drizzle olive oil in frying pan. Add the butter and let it melt, this adds a yummy flavor… I do love me some butter. Add the garlic. Drain the green beans and toss them in the pan. Add the red pepper flakes and heat through on a high-ish heat. Salt and serve!
