Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup hot honey
– 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
– 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, or corn)
– Fresh herbs for garnish (such as cilantro or parsley)
Instructions
Creating Hot Honey Chicken Bowls is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Cook Rice/Grains: Start by cooking your choice of rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Set aside once ready.
2. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
4. Add Hot Honey: Reduce the heat to medium-low, and drizzle the hot honey over the cooked chicken. Stir for 1-2 minutes to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
5. Cook Vegetables: In a separate pan, sauté the mixed vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
6. Assemble Bowls: In bowls, layer the cooked rice or quinoa as the base, then add a generous serving of the hot honey chicken on top. Follow with the sautéed vegetables.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh herbs over the top for added flavor and a pop of color.
These simple steps lead you to an incredibly satisfying meal bursting with flavor.
