A flavorful Hot Honey Chicken Bowl featuring tender seared chicken breasts glazed with a spicy-sweet hot honey sauce, served over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa with crisp mixed vegetables. This dish combines savory, sweet, and tangy elements for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Chicken and Sauce

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup hot honey
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Side

  • 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-size pieces to ensure even cooking and easy stirring.
  2. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper evenly to enhance flavor and help create a nice sear.
  3. Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  4. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, combine hot honey, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and fresh lime juice. Stir well to create a balanced spicy and tangy glaze.
  5. Add Sauce and Vegetables: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the chicken. Add the mixed vegetables and toss gently, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp and the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve: Plate the cooked rice or quinoa, top with the glazed chicken breasts and vegetables, and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the pan for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked through but remains juicy.
  • Substitute mixed vegetables with your favorite seasonal produce if desired.
  • For a gluten-free option, replace soy sauce with tamari.
  • Adjust hot honey quantity to control spice level.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
