Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these flavorful bowls. Don’t worry if you can’t find everything; I’ll offer some substitution ideas along the way.
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (feel free to adjust to your heat preference)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or your favorite grain)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Substitution Tip: If you’re out of jasmine rice, brown rice or quinoa also make excellent bases for this bowl. For a vegetarian twist, swap the chicken for firm tofu.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to bring this delicious dish to life:
- Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the hot sauce, honey, and soy sauce, mixing well to combine. Let it simmer for a minute, then return the chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat the pieces evenly with the hot honey glaze.
- Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top with the hot honey chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
