Honey Paprika Chicken with Wild Rice and Broccoli

This flavorful dish features succulent chicken breasts glazed with honey and smoked paprika, served alongside nutty wild rice and vibrant broccoli. A refreshing avocado and cilantro salad adds a delightful crunch.

Steps

1. Rinse the wild rice under cold water, then cook it according to package instructions; it usually takes about 45 minutes.
2. While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
4. In the last minute of cooking, drizzle honey over the chicken and let it caramelize slightly.
5. Steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
6. For the salad, combine diced avocado, cilantro, lemon juice, and jalapeño in a bowl; season with salt to taste.
7. Serve the honey paprika chicken with a side of wild rice, steamed broccoli, and the avocado salad.
