Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim excess fat and skin from the chicken thighs, if desired.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, for about 10 minutes until browned on all sides.
  4. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the sodium-reduced soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, minced garlic, and hot pepper flakes.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture over the browned chicken in the skillet.
  7. Bring the sauce to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute.
  8. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15 minutes, turning the chicken once halfway through, until the juices run clear when pierced.
  9. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.
  10. Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the chicken.
  11. Serve hot with steamed rice and vegetables of your choice.
