Creating the Hot Honey Chicken Bowl is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.

2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, mix together the hot honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

4. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken, cooking for about 10-12 minutes or until fully cooked and golden brown.

5. Prepare the Rice: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.

6. Steam the Vegetables: Steam the broccoli and slice the bell peppers while the chicken cooks.

7. Assemble the Bowl: In a bowl, layer the cooked rice, followed by the hot honey chicken, steamed broccoli, and sliced bell peppers.
