LET’S MAKE SOMETHING GOOD
Rinse the rice. Combine with the water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, cover, and cook on low for 15–18 minutes or follow the rice package. Remove from heat and keep covered for 5 minutes while finishing the chicken.
Ready
On a separate board, dice the chicken into one-inch pieces and season with salt and paprika. Wash hands and sanitize utensils before preparing vegetables.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 8–12 minutes, turning often, until several of the largest pieces reach 165°F (74°C).
Ready
Lower the heat and add hot honey and lime juice. Toss for 30 seconds, then remove from the heat.
Divide rice between four bowls and add chicken, cucumber, avocado, and cabbage. Serve promptly; refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).
Times are estimates. Check doneness and any required internal temperature before serving.

ChickenPan-seared boneless chicken thighs get a glossy hot honey and lemon finish. This simple skillet dinner keeps the honey off the high heat until the chicken is cooked.
SeafoodSear peeled shrimp, then toss with hot honey, lemon, and butter for a glossy skillet finish. Dry shrimp and a hot pan help prevent a watery sauce.
