Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/3 cup hot honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Begin by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, mix together the hot honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Place the chicken breasts in a zip-lock bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, prep the vegetables. Rinse the broccoli florets and slice the red bell pepper and red onion into thin strips. Set aside.
  3. Cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown crust. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  5. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the sliced red onion, bell pepper, and broccoli florets. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
  6. While the vegetables are cooking, return to the reserved marinade. Pour it into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Allow it to thicken slightly for about 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  7. To assemble the hot honey chicken bowls, start by adding a scoop of jasmine rice to each bowl. Top with sautéed vegetables and sliced chicken. Drizzle the thickened hot honey marinade generously over the chicken and vegetables.
  8. Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

Marinate the chicken longer for more flavor and try adding more veggies to customize your bowl.
