Sweet Soy Chicken and Greens
This sweet soy chicken and greens is one of those easy dinners that makes you feel like you have really got your life together, even if the day has been complete chaos. The chicken turns sticky and caramelised in the oven, the beans cook right on the tray, and you barely have to do a thing.
It is budget-friendly, family-friendly and packed with that sweet-salty flavour that always goes down well. Pop some rice on the side and dinner is sorted.
Why you’ll love it
It is all cooked on one tray, which means less mess and less fuss. The chicken comes out sticky and glossy, and the beans make it feel like a proper complete dinner.
Handy tips
Make sure you pour over any extra sauce so the chicken gets plenty of that sticky soy flavour while it bakes. Add the beans for the last 10 minutes so they stay tender without going too soft.
Serving ideas
Serve it hot with steamed rice and plenty of the sticky sauce spooned over the top. It is a great one for busy weeknights when you want something easy that still feels like a proper dinner.
