Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g chicken breast fillet, cut into strips
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons mustard (medium or sweet, depending on preference)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
- 250 g basmati rice or jasmine rice
- 500 ml water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Start with the marinade: In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of mustard, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 finely chopped clove of garlic, 1 teaspoon of paprika powder, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well until a homogeneous sauce forms. (about 5 minutes)
- Add the chicken breast strips to the marinade and let them sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. The longer, the more intense the flavor. (at least 30 minutes)
- While the chicken is marinating, rinse 250 g of basmati rice or jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and ensures fluffy rice. (about 5 minutes)
- In a pot, bring 500 ml of water with 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Add the rice and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes until the water is completely absorbed and the rice is cooked. (about 20 minutes)
- In a pan, heat some olive oil and sauté the marinated chicken strips over medium heat. Make sure they are evenly browned and form a delicious crust. (about 10-12 minutes)
- Once the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 75°C), remove it from the heat and let it rest briefly. (about 5 minutes)
- Serve the chicken over the rice and garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Enjoy your delicious Honey Mustard Chicken with Rice! (about 5 minutes)

Keywords: For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate as long as possible, ideally at least 1 hour or even overnight. Avoid overcooking the chicken to keep it tender and juicy. You can also adjust the marinade by adding spices like chili or ginger for a spicy kick.
