Ingredients
Scale
- 500g boneless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth or water
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. In a saucepan, combine rice with chicken broth or water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes until tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small bowl to make the sauce.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken slices for 5-7 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- Pour honey mustard sauce over cooked chicken. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until flavors meld and sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve chicken over fluffy rice, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly for safety and best flavor.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for extra juiciness.
- Reheat leftovers gently, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a green salad for a complete meal.
