This is one of Shaun’s favorite things that I make-and it’s chicken!  He requested that this go on the lineup and I happily obliged.

It’s a super simple and pretty quick meal.

Here are all the ingredients you’ll need:

For the Chicken

Ingredients:

-Chicken
-1/2 cup Soy Sauce
-1 TBSP Agave Nectar
-1 TBSP Honey

Instructions:

-Mix the soy sauce, agave nectar and honey and place then add chicken. I used a glass dish trying to be environmentally aware but I prefer zip top bags.

(I used drumsticks for Shaun, breasts for me)

-Marinate for at least half an hour but up to 24 hours. If you’re using a glass dish or bowl, make sure you flip it every so often.  With a zip top bag it is covered more easily but I still flip it a couple of time.

-Cook using your preferred method.  I BBQ’d tonight but I also live in California where it’s 45 at night in December.  You could use a grill pan on the stove or oven.

For the Rice-I made a ton-but you can easily modify this down-just divide by 3!

Ingredients:

-3 cups cooked brown rice
-10 oz bag of frozen peas and carrots
-3 strips of bacon
-3 eggs, beaten
-3 TBSP Soy Sauce
-Pepper to taste

Instructions:

-Chop the bacon into small pieces (I’ve also used ham before)

-Spread evenly in a pan and cook over medium heat

until done to your liking

-Drain the fat
-Add veggies

-Cover for about 2 minutes, until just steamed

-Add rice and soy sauce and cook until warm
-Make a well in the middle of the rice mixture-this helps your eggs stay fluffy, if you just add it to the rice, it’ll stick to the rice and you won’t really get much egg flavor

-Add eggs and scramble

-Once the eggs are scrambled, mix in the eggs with the rice and season with pepper

My plate (which I enjoyed!)

Shaun said that the rice is “FABULOUS” and gives the entire meal 4 stars.
