Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Citrus Glaze

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine lime juice, lime zest, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth.

  2. 4

    Cook the Glaze

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze thickens. Remove from heat.

Prepare the Rice

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 6

    Combine Chicken and Glaze

    Drizzle the citrus glaze over the cooked chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated.

  2. 7
