Ingredients

6
  • 6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic; sauté until softened.

Add the bell pepper and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for 15 minutes.

Chef's Tips

Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavours.
You can grill the chicken instead of baking for a smoky flavour.

Troubleshooting

If the quinoa is too dry, add a bit more broth or water during cooking.
Ensure the oven is properly preheated to achieve even cooking.

Recipe Variations

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Incorporate zucchini or spinach for extra veggies.

Healthy Alternatives

Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content.
Replace quinoa with brown rice for a different texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread.
