Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 medium apple, diced
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
2. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the apple-corn rice. In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced apple, corn kernels, and shredded cheese. Mix well and set aside.
3. Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle the honey over the chicken in the skillet and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the honey is slightly caramelized.
4. To serve, place a generous portion of the apple-corn rice on each plate and top with the honey-glazed chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
