A flavorful and balanced Hot Honey Chicken Bowl featuring sticky-sweet glazed chicken, sautéed vegetables, and fluffy grains like rice or quinoa—all tied together with a spicy-sweet and tangy finish.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

½ cup hot honey

4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)

Optional: extra hot honey or lime juice for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together hot honey, garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place chicken breasts in the marinade and coat well. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve some marinade) and cook 5–7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (165°F / 74°C). Brush reserved marinade over the chicken during the last minutes to glaze.
  4. While chicken cooks, heat a drizzle of olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add mixed vegetables and sauté 4–5 minutes until crisp-tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Warm or prepare rice or quinoa if not already hot.
  6. Assemble bowls: divide grains into bowls, slice the cooked chicken, and place over grains. Add sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with extra hot honey or lime juice if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the hot honey glaze.

Substitute shrimp or tofu for chicken for variety.

Use cauliflower rice for a lower-carb version.

Roast vegetables instead of sautéing for a deeper flavor.

Make it gluten-free by using tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
