Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix honey, chipotle peppers, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. 2. Cook the Rice: Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine rinsed rice and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until all water is absorbed.
  3. 3. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat with olive oil, sauté sliced bell peppers until tender-crisp (about 5 minutes).
  4. 4. Cook Chicken: In another skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil or on an outdoor grill, cook marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  5. 5. Assemble Bowls: Fluff rice with a fork and spoon it into bowls. Top with sliced chicken and sautéed bell peppers. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
