Sticky Garlic Soy Chicken and Rice Bake That Will Have You Going Back for Seconds
There are dinners you make, and then there are dinners you remember. This sticky garlic soy chicken and rice bake falls firmly into the second category. Tender, golden chunks of chicken are coated in a rich, savory-sweet glaze, nestled right on top of fluffy rice, and finished with a generous handful of fresh green onions. The whole thing bakes together in one dish, letting the sauce soak into the rice and create something truly magical.
This is the kind of meal that makes you forget everything else on the table. It is deeply flavorful, a little caramelized around the edges, and dangerously easy to eat too much of. Consider yourself warned — you may want to make a double batch.
