Total time:

Ingredients
- 2lb chicken thighs, diced into 1in cubes
- 1 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
- 1 Tbsp seasoning of choice
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups of cooked rice
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Parsley for garnish
Directions
- On medium-high heat, fry seasoned chicken in oil until browned or about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Cook onions until soft, then add minced garlic and cook for around 30 more seconds before adding mustard, honey, stock, and cream. Cook for 3-5 minutes and add chicken and cooked rice.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle cheese on top. For added flavor, broil for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is bubbling.
- Top with parsley as garnish and enjoy!
Notes
- Use chicken breasts and light cream for a low-fat option.
- Since I use 2lbs of chicken for this, I recommend either frying half the chicken at a time or using two separate pans to fry it.
- You can use microwave rice for this recipe, but I am not a fan of how that reheats so I always opt in for regular rice which does add some time to this dish (about 20mins to cook the rice beforehand).
- If you want to add veggies, steamed broccoli, steamed carrots, or both, are a good and healthy option! Add them in with the rice.
