Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 juice and zest of 2 lemons; 3 tablespoons honey; 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced; 1 tablespoon dried or fresh herbs (I used fresh thyme; oregano or rosemary would work also); 1 1/4 cup olive oil; 8 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts and/or thighs; 1/4 cup flour; 1 salt and pepper; 2 cups rice, uncooked; 3 onions and/or shallots; 1/4 cup ginger, peeled and minced

Servings: persons

2 juice and zest of 2 lemons
3 tablespoons honey
6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried or fresh herbs (I used fresh thyme; oregano or rosemary would work also)
1 1/4 cup olive oil
8 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts and/or thighs
1/4 cup flour
1 salt and pepper
2 cups rice, uncooked
3 onions and/or shallots
1/4 cup ginger, peeled and minced

1
Cook the rice.
2
Add salt and pepper to flour, and dust chicken pieces with the mix.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice and zest, honey, garlic, herbs and 1 cup olive oil.
4
Heat the remaining olive oil, adding as needed, in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the chicken in the hot skillet, and cook until the surface is brown, about 5 minutes per side.
5
Add the chicken to the marinade, toss so chicken pieces are coated thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
6
Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with foil.
7
Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet, and bake until cooked through, about 25 minutes.
8
While the chicken is baking, sautee the onions, shallots and garlic in the skillet, with the remains from browning the chicken, adding oil as needed.
9
When onions are soft, add rice, and stir fry until rice is hot. Sprinkle with tamari.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
