Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/4 cups (about 2.6 ounces) cornflakes, crushed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/3 cup jasmine rice, rinsed and cooked according to the package instructions
  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sriracha mayonnaise, for serving

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Step 2

    Season chicken breast with salt and pepper.

  • Step 3

    Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten egg, then coat it with the crushed cornflakes, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to adhere.

  • Step 4

    Place the coated chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • Step 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is golden and crispy.

  • Step 6

    In a small saucepan, combine the runny honey, light soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and finely chopped garlic.

  • Step 7

    Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture to thicken the sauce further if needed.

  • Step 8

    Divide the cooked jasmine rice into bowls, top the rice with the crispy baked chicken pieces, and drizzle with the garlic honey sauce.

  • Step 9

    Garnish with thinly sliced spring onions, sesame seeds, and sriracha mayonnaise.
