Ingredients

Scale

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup hot honey
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup steamed broccoli
¼ cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare your Workspace Gather all your ingredients and tools before you start. This will make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable. Having everything at hand helps you focus on cooking, not hunting down tools or spices. Step 2: Marinate with Love As you marinate the chicken, consider adding herbs like cilantro or scallions if you want to enhance freshness. Make sure every piece is well-coated for an even flavor distribution. Think about how the flavors meld together while the chicken soaks; this perfectly primes your meal. Step 3: Encourage Even Cooking When placing chicken in the pan, make sure not to overcrowd it. Crowding can lower the pan’s temperature, leading to steaming instead of searing. Give your pieces enough space to cook evenly and develop that nice golden crust. Step 4: Enjoy the Aroma As the chicken cooks, take a moment to enjoy the enticing aroma wafting from the skillet. This is the scent of deliciousness and anticipation! Using a meat thermometer can also help; ideally, you want the chicken to reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Step 5: Garnish and Serve Don’t forget the final touches when plating the dish. Adding fresh herbs or vibrant vegetables not only enhances flavor but also makes your bowl visually appealing. A well-garnished plate can elevate any meal from ordinary to gourmet.

Notes

Cooking Time

Keep your cooking time in check. Each step can vary slightly based on the size of your chicken pieces, so monitor them closely to avoid overcooking.

Adjusting Spice Levels

Feel free to play with the amount of chili flakes according to your spice tolerance. If you prefer a milder dish, start with a smaller amount.

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. The flavors will continue to meld, making the leftovers taste even better the next day.
