1

Gather all the ingredients.
2

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
3

Add the white and pale green parts of the green onions (about 2/3 cup) and the garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
4

Add the rice and chili powder to the skillet. Cook and stir for 1 minute to coat the rice in oil.
5

Add the broth, honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir to dissolve the honey. Bring to a boil.
6

Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
7

Garnish with some of the green parts of the green onion.
