Experience a symphony of flavors with this Hot Honey Chicken Bowl! Tender, seared chicken breasts are drizzled with a sweet and spicy honey glaze, complemented by colorful, crisp-tender mixed vegetables over a bed of fluffy rice or quinoa. Perfectly balanced with garlic, lime, and low-sodium soy sauce, this dish is ideal for busy weeknights or festive gatherings, promising to satisfy every palate and leave your guests craving more.

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

Sides

  • 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.
  2. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the hot honey, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and fresh lime juice to create a balanced sweet, spicy, and tangy glaze.
  5. Add Sauce and Vegetables: Pour the hot honey sauce into the skillet with the seared chicken. Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and toss them in the sauce, cooking for the last few minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
  6. Serve: Plate the cooked rice or quinoa, top it with the honey-glazed chicken and vegetables, and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the pan for an extra flavor kick.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add extra hot honey or a pinch of red chili flakes to the sauce.
  • Use quinoa as a gluten-free alternative to rice.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked fully to avoid any food safety risks; internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • You can swap mixed vegetables for your favorites such as zucchini or carrots.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
