Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 orange, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the glaze.
Place 4 chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the citrus-honey glaze over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the glaze is caramelized.
While the chicken is baking, rinse 1 cup of long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of chicken broth, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Fluff the garlic herb rice with a fork and serve it alongside the glazed chicken, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Enjoy your flavorful and budget-friendly meal!
