Ingredients

4tbsp Clear honey
4tsp Soy sauce
450g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
150g Brown rice
1 Pinch Salt
1tbsp Sesame oil
1tbsp Rapeseed oil
2 Heads of bok choi halved
1/2tsp Coconut oil
Handful of fresh coriander leaves
1tsp Pumpkin seeds chopped

Instructions

1

In a bowl, mix together the honey and soy sauce. Add the chicken thighs and mix until completely coated in the marinade.

2

Place the coated chicken thighs into a cold, deep, heavy-based saucepan. Place the pan onto a medium heat and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the honey and soy coating has thickened to a glossy glaze.

3

Meanwhile, add the rice, 300ml water and salt to a separate pan and bring to the boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat and simmer the rice, covered, until tender (about 30 minutes).

4

For the bok choi, heat the sesame and rapeseed oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the bok choi and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the leaves have wilted.

5

When the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork, then stir through the coconut oil, sesame seeds and coriander. Sprinkle over the chopped pumpkin seeds.

6

To serve, spoon the rice onto serving plates and top with the soy and honey chicken. Place the bok choi alongside.
