→ Brown Rice
12 -
1 cup brown rice
13 -
6 cups water
14 -
Pinch of salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse the brown rice thoroughly. In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, until the rice is fully cooked. Drain any excess water, season with a pinch of salt, and set aside.
02 -
In a small bowl, mix together the cornflour, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken thighs evenly in this seasoned cornflour mixture.
03 -
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken thighs and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on one side. Flip the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
04 -
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and lower the heat to prevent burning.
05 -
In a small bowl, combine the honey, chicken broth, and soy sauce. Pour this sauce mixture into the skillet with the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
06 -
Divide the cooked brown rice between two meal prep containers. Top each with two honey garlic chicken thighs and some of the sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions before sealing the containers.
# Notes:
01 -
For a dairy-free version, substitute olive oil for the butter.

These meal prep bowls will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

For a complete meal, consider adding steamed vegetables such as broccoli or green beans.
