Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sugars, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and cayenne. Whisk the ingredients until they are well combined.

  2. Place the chicken in a shallow baking dish and pour half of the sauce over it. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and set it aside.

  3. Pour the remaining sauce into a saucepan and simmer it for 10 minutes.

  4. In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water. Stir this mixture into the simmering teriyaki sauce.

  5. Continue to simmer the sauce until it becomes thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Once thickened, remove the sauce from heat.

  6. To make the broccolini:

  7. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, broccolini, and garlic.

  8. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the broccolini.

  9. Char the broccolini by cooking it for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until it is cooked through. Set it aside.

  10. To cook the chicken:

  11. Return the skillet to the stove and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

  12. Drain the chicken and pat it dry, then add it to the skillet.

  13. Cook the chicken until it turns golden and is no longer pink, which should take around 6 to 8 minutes
