Ingredients
Scale
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
Black pepper to taste
¼ cup honey
1–2 tsp chili flakes or sriracha
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional)
1 cup uncooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
1 cup broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and chopped bell peppers
Sliced avocado (optional)
Sesame seeds (optional)
Chopped green onions (optional)
Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
Marinate Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken, ensuring every piece is coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
Cook Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken in the pan. Sear for 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Let it rest.
Make Hot Honey Glaze: In a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat. Stir in chili flakes or sriracha and apple cider vinegar, if using. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Prepare Grain Base: Cook your choice of rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice according to package instructions. Fluff and set aside.
Cook Veggies: Steam or roast broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers until tender-crisp.
Assemble Bowls: Layer grain base, vibrant veggies, and sliced chicken. Drizzle with hot honey glaze and finish with optional toppings.
Notes
Customize by swapping veggies or grains. Make-ahead by marinating chicken a day in advance.
