Chipotle-Glazed Chicken Bites with Rice

45 min · 4 servings


Ingredients

□ 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice

□ 3 cups water

□ 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt, divided

□ 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces

□ 2 tbsp neutral oil, divided

□ 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, finely chopped

□ 2 tbsp honey

□ 1 lime, juiced

□ 2 garlic cloves, finely grated

□ 12 oz green beans, trimmed

Directions

1. Rinse white rice, then simmer it with water and salt until tender.

2. Mix chipotle, honey, lime, garlic, oil, and salt into a glaze; season chicken bites.

3. Sear chicken, then add the glaze and cook until sticky and fully cooked.

4. Cook green beans until crisp-tender. Fluff rice, rest chicken, and serve in bowls.

Cook’s note: Let the glaze bubble around the chicken so it thickens without scorching.
