Preparation
Roast the chicken
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a small bowl, microwave 3 tbsp butter, in 15 sec. increments, until melted. Add the miso, honey and black pepper; whisk well.
- Pat the chicken* dry; rub with ¼ of the spices.
- Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, 10 to 15 min., until partially cooked.
- Flip and brush with the miso-butter glaze.
- Roast, 10 to 12 min., until cooked through.
Start the rice
- Meanwhile, remove the kale leaves from the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
- In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp butter and a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the kale, leeks and 2 tbsp water. Cook, covered, 2 to 3 min., until wilted.
- Add the rice, edamame and remaining spices.
- Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until warmed through.
Finish the rice
- To the pot, add 3 cups water and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice between your plates.
- Top with the chicken (slice beforehand if desired). Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
