Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade
  • 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
For the Rice
  • 2 cups Jasmine rice
  • to taste Salt
  • 2 cups Water

Equipment

  • skillet
  • Pot

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook it in a pot with 2 cups of water according to package instructions; set aside once done.
  2. Mix the marinade by combining soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated, and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, sear the marinated chicken thighs for about 5 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and develop a delicious crust.
  4. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken thighs and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Fluff the jasmine rice with a fork to separate the grains, and season lightly with salt to enhance its flavor.
  6. Serve the luscious chicken thighs over a bed of warm rice, drizzled generously with the extra sauce from the pan for that extra burst of flavor.
