Equipment

  • 1 large oven-safe pan
  • 1 Measuring Cups
  • 1 Aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from the pan and set aside. Add garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant.
  • Stir in the rice, chicken broth, honey, and soy sauce into the pan. Mix well to combine.
  • Place the chicken back on top of the rice mixture. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.

Serving

  • Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Storage

  • Allow leftovers to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. Browning the chicken before baking enhances flavor.
Ingredient Substitutions: Substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a juicier result.
How to Serve: Pair with steamed vegetables or a side salad.
Storage & Freshness: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the dish up to the baking step and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking.
