Description
Warm, sticky, and just spicy enough, these Hot Honey Chicken Bowls are quick weeknight heroes featuring tender chicken, fluffy grains, and sautéed vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 to 1¼ lb total)
- 1/2 cup hot honey sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa (about 1 cup dry)
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots suggested)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the rice or quinoa according to package directions and keep it warm. Fluff with a fork just before assembling.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan.
- Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken 6–7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken and brush with half of the hot honey. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 4–6 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Slice the chicken against the grain. Assemble bowls with 1/2 cup grain, vegetables, and sliced chicken. Drizzle with remaining hot honey if desired.
Notes
Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds. Add Greek yogurt or avocado for creaminess.
