Instructions

1. 1.
   Combine the white miso paste and honey in a small bowl to create the glaze. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will add a savory-sweet flavor that caramelizes beautifully.
2. 2.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear each side for about 3 minutes until golden brown. Reducing the heat to medium, brush half of the miso glaze onto the chicken and continue cooking for about 6 more minutes, or until cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F. Coat both sides for a sticky, flavorful crust.
3. 3.
   While the chicken cooks, warm the cooked brown rice in a small pan or microwave. This will ensure the rice is fluffy and ready for serving.
4. 4.
   Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist. Slice the chicken thinly against the grain for tender pieces.
5. 5.
   In a bowl, layer the warm brown rice and top with the sliced chicken. Drizzle any remaining miso glaze over the chicken slices. Finish by scattering the sliced scallions on top for a fresh oniony crunch. If desired, adjust the seasoning with a hint of salt or soy sauce.
