Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (OR 4-6 bone-in chicken thighs)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water
3 teaspoons sugar
juice of 1 lime
sliced or chopped pineapple, cilantro, lime wedges for garnish (optional)
⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons corn starch + 4 tablespoons cold water
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper (1/4 teaspoon if using finely ground pepper)

Steps:

  • Stir together rub ingredients. Rub seasonings all over chicken.
  • In a large skillet or pot (one that has a lid) over medium heat, add butter and honey.
  • When butter is almost melted, give it a good stir to coat the pan, and add chicken to the pan. Brown 2-3 minutes on each side, then transfer to a plate. (Chicken won't be cooked through at this point)
  • Add rice to the pan, stir in coconut milk, water, sugar, and lime juice. Add chicken back to the pan so it is sitting on top of the rice.
  • Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes until liquid is absorbed, rice is tender, and chicken is cooked through. While chicken and rice is cooking, prepare the glaze.
  • In a medium sauce pan combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir together corn starch and water until dissolved, then stir in to sauce pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir until glaze thickens.
  • Once chicken and rice are cooked, spoon glaze over chicken. Garnish with chopped pineapple, cilantro and lime wedges if desired and serve.
