Hot Honey Chicken Bowl

A delightful fusion of sweet and spicy flavors, this Hot Honey Chicken Bowl is quick to prepare and perfect for busy weeknights.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup hot honey (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by chopping the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Make the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, combine the hot honey, soy sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl.
  4. Pour in the Sauce: When the chicken is nearly cooked, pour in the honey sauce and let it simmer for a couple of minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Add Vegetables: Toss in your chopped vegetables during the last few minutes of cooking, stirring them until they are tender yet still crisp.
  6. Serve It Up: Serve the chicken and vegetables over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa, drizzling any remaining sauce on top for extra flavor.

Notes

For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop.
