Description

Savor the perfect blend of sweet and spicy with Hot Honey Chicken Bowls. Quick to make, healthy, and loaded with bold flavors for a satisfying meal!


Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce or chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa, rice, or farro
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli
  • 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes
  • Optional garnishes: sesame seeds, fresh herbs, lime wedges


Instructions

1. Season the chicken pieces with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Add honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir well until combined and slightly thickened, about 2–3 minutes.

4. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the hot honey sauce.

5. Divide the cooked grains into serving bowls.

6. Top each bowl with the glazed chicken, steamed broccoli, and roasted sweet potatoes.

7. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds, fresh herbs, or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.


Notes

Use fresh, high-quality honey for the best flavor.

Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to enhance the sweetness and spice.

Double the sauce for extra drizzle on the veggies and grains.
