Description
A delightful blend of savory and sweet, this Hot Honey Chicken Bowl combines tender chicken with a spicy honey glaze, perfect for cozy autumn evenings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Begin by cooking your rice according to the package instructions. Set it aside once it is fluffy and ready.
- Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drizzle olive oil over them, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Sauté the Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit more olive oil and toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté them for about 5 minutes or until they are softened.
- Cook the Chicken: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the chicken thighs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Create the Hot Honey Sauce: In the last few minutes of cooking, drizzle the hot honey over the chicken and allow it to caramelize slightly.
- Assemble the Bowl: On a plate or in a bowl, layer the cooked rice, topped with the sautéed peppers and onions, and add the hot honey chicken on top. Finish with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime for added zest.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, substitute regular soy sauce with tamari and ensure your hot honey is gluten-free. Adjust spiciness by adding more or less hot honey as desired.
