A flavorful and easy Hot Honey Chicken Bowl featuring tender, seared chicken breasts glazed with a sweet and spicy hot honey sauce, served over a bed of rice or quinoa with crisp sautéed mixed vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Sauce

  • 1/2 cup hot honey
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

For the Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients. Gather all ingredients and chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. Season the Chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper for flavor.
  3. Sear the Chicken. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the hot pan and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Make the Sauce. In a small bowl, combine hot honey, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and fresh lime juice. Stir well to create a balanced sweet, spicy, and tangy sauce.
  5. Add Sauce and Vegetables. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Then, add the mixed vegetables, tossing them in the sauce and cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. Assemble the Bowl. Serve each chicken breast on a bed of cooked rice or quinoa, drizzling with the extra sauce and vegetables for a complete and delicious meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option.
  • If you prefer less heat, use milder honey or reduce the amount of hot honey.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to switch up the vegetables based on seasonal availability.
