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 mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  2. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season each side generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust and are cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the hot honey, low-sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic. Stir well to create a balanced sweet, spicy, and tangy glaze.
  5. Cook Vegetables and Glaze Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet, pour the hot honey sauce over the chicken, then add the mixed vegetables. Toss or gently stir the vegetables with the chicken, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp and the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve: Spoon the cooked rice or quinoa onto plates or bowls, place the glazed chicken and vegetables on top, and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the pan. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier result.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure soy sauce is tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
