A sweet and spicy Hot Honey Chicken Bowl featuring seared chicken with a hot honey glaze, vibrant vegetables, and served over rice or quinoa. Perfect for a quick, flavorful, and comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Gather and prep all ingredients, chopping the vegetables of your choice.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken cooks, whisk together hot honey, soy sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl to create the sauce.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking, allowing them to become tender yet crisp and absorb the flavors.
- Once everything is cooked and coated, serve the chicken and veggies over rice or quinoa, drizzling with any extra sauce on top.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain texture.
- Separate sauce and grains if meal prepping.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce alternatives for a gluten-free version.
