Ingredients

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients—fresh, vibrant, and balanced. I always reach for local produce when I can, especially for the veggies that add crunch and color to the bowl. For the chicken, boneless thighs work beautifully because they stay juicy, but chicken breasts are a fine substitute if you prefer leaner cuts. And the hot honey glaze? That’s your magic touch—feel free to adjust the heat level by choosing a milder or hotter chili-infused honey.

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup hot honey (chili-infused honey; substitute with honey + a pinch of cayenne)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: lime wedges for squeezing over the top

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pan, seasoning with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  3. Lower the heat to medium, add the minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Pour in the hot honey, stirring to coat the chicken evenly. Let the sauce simmer and thicken slightly for 2-3 minutes, spooning the glaze over the chicken as it cooks.
  5. While the chicken cooks, prepare your base—brown rice or quinoa works wonderfully here. Steam or lightly cook your broccoli and shred the carrots.
  6. Assemble the bowl by layering rice or quinoa first, then topping with glazed chicken, broccoli, carrots, and green onions.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime if you like a zesty finish.
