Honey-Ginger Glazed Chicken with Roasted Carrots and Coconut Rice

A sweet and savory dish featuring tender chicken glazed in a honey-ginger sauce, paired with roasted carrots and fluffy coconut rice.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, ginger, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper.
  3. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the honey-ginger mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Toss carrots with a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread them around the chicken in the baking dish.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, water, and rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Bake chicken and carrots in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are tender.
  7. Serve the honey-ginger glazed chicken with roasted carrots and fluffy coconut rice.
