Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 8 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion.
In a medium pot, combine rice, 2¼ cups water (4 cups for 8), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
Toss broccoli and onion on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper; spread out in a single layer. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes. (For 8 servings, use two baking sheets and roast on top and middle racks.)
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mushroom stock concentrate, veggie stock concentrate, hoisin sauce, garlic powder, cornstarch, ½ cup water, and ½ tsp sugar until smooth (use 1 cup water and 1 tsp sugar for 8 servings).
Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
Heat sesame oil and a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes (6-8 minutes for 8 servings).
Carefully add sauce to pan with chicken; stir to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Carefully transfer broccoli and onion to pan with saucy chicken. Add bok choy and napa cabbage and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 8 servings). Stir until butter has melted and everything is coated in sauce. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to toss everything together in a large bowl for 8 servings.
Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt.
Transfer rice to a large serving bowl. Transfer chicken and broccoli to a separate large serving bowl and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve family style.

Reviews from our home cooks
Surprised by just how much food this meal made - I know it said Big Batch but I'm not someone who typically has leftovers and I'm eating it again today after making it last night. Wherever your meat is sourced I'm very impressed - I buy "Pre" from my local grocery store and the quality of the chicken in this meal kit is right up there.
Easy to prepare - plenty of food. Did not realize it was big-batch. A little bland for my taste. I should have added mushrooms and crushed red pepper flakes.
Even though the broccoli and cabbage were spoiled, I purchased broccoli and the dinner was very delicious. So flavorful. I did not add or replace the cabbage as I wasn't quite sure what it was.
The onion needs to be sautéed instead of roasted. Roasting broccoli takes 20min, not 30
Sauce was a little runnier than expected - wish it would've stuck to the chicken a little better - but otherwise very tasty.
Delicious. Steps were more than expected with extra dishes but it was worth it.
Great healthy choice. Added a little drizzle of sriracha mayo on top. Yum
Love this meal! Just as good, if not better than, takeout!
Fabulous 10/10, please put this or the smaller version in the rotation more often!!!!
Too salty - would like low sodium soy option. Also would like a whole grain or brown rice alternative to white rice
