Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup white rice uncooked
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 3 slices lemon optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden and nearly cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter and garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to brown.
  3. Stir in the honey and soy sauce to create a sticky glaze.
  4. Add the uncooked rice and stir to coat with the sauce. Pour in the chicken broth and mix briefly.
  5. Nestle the chicken thighs back into the pan. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 18–22 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. p id=”instruction-step-6″>6. Uncover, fluff the rice, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Garnish with lemon slices if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Ingredient Variation: I've definitely used boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs when that's what I had.
Just keep an eye on them, as they can dry out a bit quicker
