Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken chunks, dijon mustard, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the chicken is evenly coated.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat.
Cooking
- Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the green beans in a separate skillet. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the trimmed green beans and sprinkle with salt, pepper, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, and lemon juice.
- Sauté the green beans for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Meanwhile, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, usually involving a 2:1 water-to-rice ratio. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered until fluffy.
Assembly
- Once everything is cooked, assemble your bowls. Start with a base of jasmine rice, followed by the honey mustard chicken and green beans on top.
Garnishing
- Garnish with additional lemon juice or sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious honey mustard chicken bowls!
Notes
Use quality dijon mustard for the best flavor impact, marinate the chicken for flavor enhancement, and rinse jasmine rice thoroughly for fluffy grains.
