A delicious one-pan meal combining juicy chicken thighs, fragrant garlic, and tender rice, all coated in a sweet honey glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 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 and black pepper to taste
  • 3 slices lemon (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown and nearly cooked through, then remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add unsalted butter and minced garlic. Cook until fragrant and beginning to brown.
  4. Stir in honey and soy sauce to create a glaze.
  5. Add uncooked rice to the skillet, stirring to coat. Pour in chicken broth and mix briefly.
  6. Nestle the chicken thighs back into the pan, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 18-22 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Uncover, fluff the rice, sprinkle with parsley, and garnish with lemon slices if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, allow the chicken to rest after cooking to keep it juicy. Fluff rice after cooking to enhance texture.
