1. Bring water, oil and salt to a boil in a medium-sized pot.
2. Stir the brown rice. Cover and reduce heat to simmer for 40 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
3. While the rice is cooking, prepare the next ingredients.
4. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and put it in a mixing bowl.
5. Mix the soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder and lemon juice in with the cut up chicken. Make sure it's completely coated.
6. Chop the red bell pepper and onion, and set them aside.
7. When the rice is cooked, heat a large pan over medium heat. Once it's hot, pour in the chicken and cook for 6 minutes.
8. Take chicken out of the pan and put it in a bowl to set aside. Leave the liquid in the pan.
9. Put the red bell pepper and onion in the pan. Saute for 4-5 minutes until the onions are tender.
10. Add the rice to the mixture and combine. Stir in the honey and chicken. Increase heat to medium-high and cook for an additional minute.
11. Stir in the green onions, divide into six servings and enjoy.
