Steps

1. 1

   Slice the chicken breast into even cubes and place them in a bowl.

2. 2

   Add the 20ml soy sauce, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, and the juice of 1 lemon to the chicken. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is well seasoned and the color has changed. For best flavor, marinate for 30 minutes or overnight.

3. 3

   Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through.

4. 4

   Turn off the heat. Add 10-15g of honey to the pan and mix until the chicken is coated and sticky. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

5. 5

   In the same pan, add the finely sliced red onion and chopped red bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

6. 6

   Add the 480g of cooked basmati rice to the pan with the vegetables.

7. 7

   Pour in 15ml dark soy sauce, 10g honey, and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

8. 8

   Add the cooked chicken back into the pan with the rice and vegetables. Mix briefly to incorporate.

9. 9

   Garnish with sliced green onions, then distribute into 4 equal servings.

Notes

Important: Turn off the heat before adding honey to the chicken to prevent it from burning. Meal prep can be stored for up to 5 days in the fridge or frozen for months. Reheat in a microwave or on a pan.
