Honey-Ginger Chicken

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup ginger stir-in paste
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • ¼ cup honey

Steps

    1. Combine ginger paste, salt, and pepper in medium bowl. Place flour on plate; dip chicken in flour, coating both sides, then shake off excess, then dip in ginger mixture, coating both sides (wash hands).
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add chicken; cook 3–4 minutes on each side until golden. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 5–7 more minutes until chicken is 165°F.
    3. Remove chicken from pan and let stand 5 minutes, then slice and drizzle with honey. Serve.

Vanilla Rice

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 ¾ cups water
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

    1. Preheat medium saucepan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add rice; cook and stir 1–2 minutes until evenly coated and hot.
    2. Stir in water, sugar, and vanilla. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1 minute.
    3. Reduce heat to lowest setting; cover and cook 22 minutes. Fluff rice with fork and serve.

Serving Suggestions

  • Complete your meal with steamed broccoli, and fresh-cut fruit for dessert.
  • For perfect rice, use a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Rice cooks by steaming, so once covered, no peeking! Remove from heat after cook time is complete; rice will stay warm without overcooking.
