Not having enough time to make complicated dishes seems like the norm and I can totally relate to that. Ever since grad school (gosh, which was like years and years ago), I have been trying to come up with ways to prepare food in advance and still have something healthy and easy come meal time.

One of my trick is to buy chicken thighs (or breasts), portion them out in ziploc bags, pour some marinating sauce and let them marinate in the fridge. Then when I come home and start letting the rice cooking away in the rice cooker, I will just heat up my frying pan and fry these chicken and they will be done at about the same time as the rice. Easy right?

The combination of soy sauce, honey, and lime is always lovely. I love how the chicken will be sweet, salty, and sour (in a fresh limey kind of sour). I have never tried grilling them, though I suspect this will make a great barbeque dish for a picnic, don’t you think? ♥

      I am pretty sure you can, though I would cut down on the honey, maybe 1 tablespoon max. 🙂
