Description
A delightful bowl of tender chicken drizzled with sweet and spicy hot honey, served over rice or quinoa with vibrant mixed vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1 cup rice or quinoa
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- Cook the rice or quinoa: Start by cooking your rice or quinoa according to the package instructions. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
- Season the chicken: While the grains are cooking, season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Heat the pan: In a large pan, heat some olive oil over medium heat.
- Cook the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook them until golden brown, which takes about 6-7 minutes on each side. Make sure they’re cooked through!
- Drizzle with hot honey: Once the chicken is golden, remove it from the pan and drizzle it with hot honey for that perfect sweet and spicy touch.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same pan, toss in your mixed vegetables and sauté them until they become tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble your bowls: Now it’s time to put it all together! In a bowl, layer your cooked rice or quinoa, add the sautéed vegetables, and top it off with sliced hot honey chicken.
Notes
Garnish with fresh herbs or seeds for added flavor and crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
