Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to bring these bowls to life:
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Feel free to substitute the brown rice with quinoa if you prefer a different grain, and adjust the chili flakes based on your heat preference. Cooking is all about making it work for you!
Instructions
Here’s how you can whip up these bowls in your own kitchen:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and chili flakes. Stir and let it simmer for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it well with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is well glazed.
- Meanwhile, steam or sauté the broccoli florets and bell peppers until tender.
- To assemble, divide the cooked brown rice or quinoa into bowls. Top with the hot honey chicken, broccoli, and bell peppers.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
From my experience, keeping an eye on the sauce as it thickens is key—it can go from perfect to burnt quite quickly. Trust me, I’ve learned this the hard way in my kitchen adventures!
