Step 1/5
Sauté Aromatics and Brown Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet or pot over medium heat. Add sliced onions and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add chicken thigh pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2/5
Simmer Chicken with Sauce
Pour in soy sauce, vinegar, and add the bay leaf and whole black peppercorns to the skillet. Stir to combine. Cover and simmer the chicken mixture for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally.
Step 3/5
Cook Rice
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions.
Step 4/5
Add Vegetables and Adjust Seasoning
Once the chicken is cooked, add diced mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and brown sugar (if using) according to your preference.
