Savory Honey Garlic Chicken Bites on Creamy Rice

Tender Honey Garlic Chicken Bites served over creamy rice create a delightful blend of savory flavors and rich textures, ideal for cozy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the chicken thighs by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and cornstarch to create the marinade.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken.
  • Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through; remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, pour in the remaining marinade and bring it to a simmer.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, to remove excess starch.
  • In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover to simmer for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, stir in the heavy cream into the rice and fluff with a fork.
  • Serve the honey garlic chicken bites over a generous scoop of creamy rice, garnished with chopped green onions.
