Description

A one-pan dish where chicken is seared to perfection and cooked together with jasmine rice in a sweet and spicy honey chipotle sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add chicken breasts and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Mix honey and chipotle sauce in a bowl, then pour over the chicken to create a glossy coating.
  3. Add jasmine rice and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine and ensuring even distribution.
  4. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, ensure the chicken is well-browned and allow the dish to sit before serving.
