Description
Hot Honey Chicken Bowls are a flavorful and spicy dish featuring marinated chicken thighs, sautéed vegetables, and served over rice, drizzled with hot honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup hot honey (or regular honey with a dash of cayenne)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the hot honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the marinated chicken thighs on the sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and bell peppers, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
- Once the chicken is finished baking, let it rest briefly before slicing it into strips.
- Distribute the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Layer each bowl with the sautéed vegetables and the sliced chicken. Drizzle any leftover hot honey over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For a vegetarian twist, swap the chicken for marinated tofu or chickpeas using the same hot honey blend.
- Enhance your bowls with slices of avocado or a spoonful of sour cream for added creaminess and flavor.
