Description
A cozy bowl featuring succulent chicken, a sweet and spicy honey glaze, and colorful veggies.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
- ½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Make the hot honey sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat and add the hot honey. Allow it to warm through, then return the chicken to the skillet. Coat the chicken in the sauce, ensuring it’s evenly glazed.
- Cook the veggies: In the same skillet (or in a separate one if preferred), sauté the bell pepper until softened. Add the corn and black beans, cooking until warmed through.
- Assemble the bowl: Start with a base of rice or quinoa. Top with the glazed chicken, sautéed veggies, and avocado slices. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Serve and enjoy: Your Irresistible Hot Honey Chicken Bowl is ready to be devoured!
Notes
Perfect Chicken: Ensure the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Customize your bowl with other vegetables or make it spicy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
