This delightful dish combines succulent chicken glazed with honey, served over a savory apple and corn-infused rice. The blend of sweet and savory flavors, along with the textures of tender chicken and fluffy rice, creates a balanced and satisfying meal. It's perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion, and it maintains traditional cooking techniques while adding a creative twist.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 apple, diced
• 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
• 2 chicken breasts
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Brush honey over the chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
3. While the chicken cooks, in a separate pot, combine the cooked rice, diced apple, and corn. Stir gently to combine and heat through.
4. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
5. To serve, place a generous scoop of the apple-corn rice on each plate, top with sliced honey-glazed chicken, and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
