Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp honey
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 4 lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, and evenly rub the spice mixture over both sides. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey and soy sauce. Set aside for later.

Step 4

Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and chop the yellow onion into small wedges. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, and pour the honey-soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything to coat evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the dish and give it a final toss.

Step 10

Serve hot over a bed of cooked jasmine rice, garnished with lime wedges for a fresh citrus kick.
