For I can’t help falling in love with—boneless, skinless chicken breasts?! Yep, this (normally) unsung protein hero just went from lackluster to the best-freaking-thing-you-ever-ate. Here, chicken breasts are pan seared and topped with a truly delightful (homemade!) teriyaki glaze studded with fresh ginger and garlic. It’s paired with lime rice and tender roasted zucchini. One bite of this dish will have you exclaiming, “Thank you, EP. Thank you very much.”

Wash and dry all produce. Peel and finely chop ginger. Place rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse until water runs clear. Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the ginger; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in rice, 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15 minutes. Keep covered off heat for at least 10 minutes or until ready to serve.
While rice cooks, adjust rack to top position and heat broiler to high. Zest and quarter lime. Trim and slice zucchini into ½-inch-thick rounds. Peel and finely chop garlic. Thinly slice chili.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, juice from half the lime, 1 TBSP sugar (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and 2 TBSP water (¼ cup for 4). Stir to dissolve sugar; set aside. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat and transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Broil on top rack until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. (Watch carefully to avoid burning. The broiler is a powerful tool!)
Heat pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add garlic and remaining ginger. (If pan is dry, add a drizzle of oil.) Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in soy sauce mixture and cook until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Return chicken to pan and turn to coat in glaze.
Fluff rice with a fork and stir in lime zest. Divide rice, chicken, and zucchini between plates. Drizzle chicken with any remaining glaze. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side. Garnish with as much chili as you’d like.
