Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup long-grain white rice

- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping garlic and slicing carrots.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Add minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add carrots and peas, cooking for another couple of minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Pour this mixture over the chicken and veggies.
