Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup hot honey
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Base and Vegetables

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces ensuring they cook evenly.
  2. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
  4. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the hot honey, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and fresh lime juice. Stir until well blended.
  5. Add Sauce and Vegetables: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the chicken. Add the mixed vegetables during the last few minutes of cooking. Toss occasionally and cook until vegetables are tender yet crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Assemble Bowl: Serve the glazed chicken slices over cooked rice or quinoa, spooning extra sauce and vegetables on top for a delicious, colorful meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey based on spice preference.
  • Use fresh vegetables in season for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cook quinoa or rice ahead of time for quicker meal prep.
  • Leftover chicken and vegetables can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
