Honey Lemon Chicken and Chocohotopots

Last couple of days have been busy with school, exams, procrastinating, zip-lining. You know, the usual. Since it's been so long since I've been grocery shopping or real time cooking I figured I should muster up the effort and make something delicious. As always I was looking for some inspiration and tastespotting came to the rescue.

Here is the original recipe I took my inspiration from: Click here!!!
Here is my tweak on the original

- 1 lemon
- 2 tbs of honey
- 1 tbs of soy sauce
- 3 tsp of sugar
- splash of orange juice
- 3 carrots chopped into thin rounds
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 1 cup of jasmine rice
- 1.34 lbs of chicken breast (chopped into large chunks)
- salt
- pepper

1. Place lemon in microwave for 30 seconds, this helps to juice your lemon later. Grate lemon should have about 1 teaspoon. Slice lemon in half and juice it.
2. To lemon juice add honey, soy sauce, sugar, and splash of orange juice. Mix all together
3. Peel and chop carrots and onion.
4. Add olive oil to a large pot, heat to medium high heat, brown chicken on all sides. Once browned remove chicken from pot.
5. Add more oil if needed, add onions, sauté for 30 seconds, add carrots, rice, honey sauce. Place chicken on top of rice, add chicken broth. Bring to a boil, cover the pot and simmer for about 30 minutes.
6. Serve on a plate and enjoy :)
