Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, lime juice, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Add cubed chicken to the marinade and mix well. Let it sit for 20–30 minutes or longer if time allows.

In a large skillet, cook the marinated chicken over medium heat until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

In another pot, melt butter and sauté onions until translucent.

Add jasmine rice and stir for a minute to toast lightly.

Pour in broth, tomato sauce, green chilies, and taco seasoning. Stir and bring to a boil.

Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Serve chicken over taco rice and divide into containers for meal prep.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Marinade Magic 💥
For maximum flavor penetration, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours (or overnight) in the lime, honey, and spice mixture to ensure deep, tender flavor infusion.
Rice Liquid Ratio Secret 🍚
When preparing taco rice, use a 1:1.25 rice to liquid ratio (combining broth and tomato sauce) to achieve perfectly fluffy, not soggy rice with intense flavor.
Spice Layer Technique 🌶️
Toast dry spices in the pan for 30 seconds before adding liquids to unlock deeper, more complex flavor profiles in both the chicken and rice.
Chicken Searing Pro Tip 🔥
Pat chicken breasts completely dry before cooking and use a cast-iron skillet for the most beautiful golden-brown exterior and maximum flavor development.
Meal Prep Moisture Hack 📦
Store rice and chicken separately in airtight containers, and add a damp paper towel over the chicken to prevent drying out during refrigeration.
