Description
This honey garlic chicken and rice dish is a delicious and easy weeknight meal that your family will love!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (diced into bite size pieces)
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced or 2 teaspoons pre-minced garlic)
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
- 1 cup Long Grain White Rice
- ½ cup Shredded Carrots
- 2 Sliced Green Onions (for serving)
- ½ cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Sesame Oil
- ¼ cup Honey
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
Instructions
- Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a mixing bowl until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium high heat.
- Add in the chicken and season it with the pepper.
- Sauté for 5-7 minutes, flipping it halfway through the cooking time, until both sides of the chicken are browned.
- Add in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until you can start to smell the garlic.
- Stir in the Chicken Broth, rice and carrots.
- Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed (stir every once in a while to make sure that the mixture is not sticking to the bottom of the pan).
- Remove the lid. Stir in the sauce mixture. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coats all the ingredients in the pan.
- Serve warm topped with the sliced green onions if using and enjoy!
Notes
- This dish can be served with steamed broccoli or a side salad for a complete meal.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the sauce.
