Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine rice and chicken broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for 15–18 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6–7 minutes on each side.
