Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Honey Garlic Chicken:
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Veggie Fried Rice:
  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Place chicken in a baking dish and pour sauce over top. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and glazed, basting once halfway. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  2. Make Fried Rice: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions, carrots, and broccoli until just tender. Push veggies to the side, scramble eggs in the pan, then mix together. Add rice and soy sauce, stir-frying until heated through and lightly crispy. Adjust seasoning.
  3. Assemble: Serve sliced honey garlic chicken over a bed of veggie fried rice with extra sauce drizzled on top.

Notes

  • Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
  • Leftover rice works best for fried rice texture.
  • Chicken thighs can be used for juicier results.
  • Add bell peppers or snap peas to the veggie mix for more variety.
