Instructions

1

Rinse the brown rice thoroughly and place in a bamboo steamer insert with 1.5 cups of water, minced garlic, and thinly sliced onion.

2

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and nestle them directly atop the rice bed in the steamer.

3

Bring a pot of water to a boil, place the steamer basket on top, cover tightly, and steam for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, tender, and the rice is fluffy and aromatic.

4

During the last 5 minutes, add the kale to the steamer, covering again to allow it to wilt into a vibrant, dark green.

5

Remove the chicken and rice. Whisk a small amount of pan juices with honey to create a light, sweet-savory glaze.

6

Plate by spooning the fragrant garlic-onion rice into a bowl, topping with the steamed chicken, and arranging the wilted kale alongside. Drizzle the honey-glaze over the chicken and finish with a pinch of sea salt.
