- Begin by adding four cups of boiling water, two tablespoons of butter, and one teaspoon of salt to a pot. Stir in two cups of washed rice and bring the water to a boil. Once boiled, cover and cook for 13 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, create the sauce. In a bowl, stir together two tablespoons of honey, two tablespoons of soy sauce, one tablespoon of chili garlic oil, one teaspoon of minced garlic, one teaspoon of cornstarch, and the juice of one lemon. Whisk together then set aside.
- Prepare the vegetables. Cut baby carrots in half lengthwise and add to a pot of boiling salted water. Cook for 5 minutes then remove and set aside. Chop two heads of broccoli into bite-sized pieces then sauté in one tablespoon of oil and minced garlic for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper then add the cooked carrots and 1/3 cup of carrot water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes then remove from heat.
- In the same pan, heat one tablespoon of oil. Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and let cook for 5 minutes. Add the prepared sauce and dried chili then cover and simmer for 3 minutes until sauce thickens. Finally, add chopped green onion and mix together.
- Portion the cooked rice into individual storage containers. Top each container with the honey lemon chicken and desired garnishes. Serve immediately or cool and refrigerate for up to four days. Enjoy!
