1

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 3-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2

In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons honey, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3

Add chicken to the bowl and toss to coat.
4

Evenly spread the rice in the prepared baking dish.
5

Arrange the chicken on top.
6

Pour broth into the same bowl and stir to combine with the remaining marinade. Pour the broth around the chicken, taking care not to pour it over the top and rinse off the marinade.
7

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and brush the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon honey.
8

Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bake until the rice is cooked and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh reads at least 175 degrees F (80 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions to serve.
