Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce or chili flakes, adjust to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa, rice, or farro
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli
  • 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Season the cubed chicken with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6โ€“8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Reduce the heat to low. In the same skillet, add the honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir well and cook for 2โ€“3 minutes until slightly thickened.

4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the hot honey sauce.

5. Divide the cooked quinoa, rice, or farro evenly among serving bowls.

6. Top each bowl with the glazed chicken, steamed broccoli, and roasted sweet potatoes.

7. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the bowls.

8. Garnish with sesame seeds, fresh herbs, or a squeeze of lime juice if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh, high-quality honey for the best flavor and natural sweetness.

Adjust the hot sauce or chili flakes to control the spice level.

Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten and balance the sweet and spicy flavors.

Double the sauce if you prefer extra drizzle over the grains and vegetables.

These bowls are great for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
