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:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, ginger, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper.
- Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the honey-ginger mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
- Toss carrots with a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread them around the chicken in the baking dish.
- 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.
- Bake chicken and carrots in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are tender.
- Serve the honey-ginger glazed chicken with roasted carrots and fluffy coconut rice.
