Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

For 2 servings:

  • 2 tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsps Raw Honey
  • 3 Garlic (cloves, minced)
  • 1 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 lb Chicken Thighs
  • 3 cups Asparagus (woody ends snapped off)
  • 1/2 cup Quinoa (uncooked)
  • 3/4 cup Water

Directions

  1. Combine olive oil, honey, minced garlic, chili powder, sea salt and black pepper together in a bowl. Whisk well. Pour into a ziploc bag and add the chicken thighs. Shake well and place in the fridge to marinade.
  2. Trim the ends from the asparagus. Toss in a splash of extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper. Place on a plate until ready to grill.
  3. Combine your quinoa and water in a sauce pan. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer. Cover with a lid and let simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
  4. Preheat your grill over medium heat.
  5. Transfer chicken thighs to the grill and cook for 7 to 10 minutes per side or until cooked through. When you flip the chicken, place the asparagus directly on the grill. Grill just until tender (about 5 to 7 minutes). Remove chicken and asparagus from grill and plate over a few spoonfuls of quinoa. Enjoy!
