- Organic Ginger Root 1 Tbsp, finely grated $5.99 (reg) per 1 lb
- Simple Truth Organic Garlic Bulbs 2 cloves, minced $2.79 (reg) per 3 ct
- Cooked rice (for serving) 1 cup dry rice (or ~2 1/2 cups cooked)
- White miso paste 2 Tbsp
- Soy sauce 1 1/2 Tbsp
- Honey or brown sugar 1 Tbsp
- Rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp
- Neutral oil (canola/avocado) 1 1/2 Tbsp
- Toasted sesame oil (optional) 1 tsp
- Sesame seeds & sliced scallions (optional) for finishing

Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup.
- Cook rice (or reheat leftover) so it’s ready when the chicken is done.
- Pat chicken thighs dry. Season lightly with black pepper and a small pinch of salt (go easy—miso/soy are salty).
- In a bowl, whisk miso, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, grated ginger, garlic, neutral oil, and (optional) sesame oil until smooth.
- Toss carrots with 1–2 Tbsp of the glaze (or a drizzle of oil if you prefer less sweet). Spread carrots on the sheet pan first and roast 10 minutes to give them a head start.
- Remove pan; push carrots to one side. Add chicken thighs and brush generously with glaze. Add bok choy halves cut-side down; brush lightly with glaze or oil.
- Roast 18–22 minutes, flipping bok choy cut-side up halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F and carrots are tender.
- Broil 1–2 minutes to caramelize the glaze (watch closely).
- Serve chicken and roasted veggies over rice. Sprinkle sesame seeds/scallions if using.
Health notes: ~750–850 calories per serving (estimate). High protein; good veggie fiber. Moderate sodium (miso/soy)—use low-sodium where you can.
Drink pairing: Pair with a Washington Riesling (Columbia Valley); its acidity loves the miso-ginger glaze.
