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. Wash and chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to promote browning. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the hot honey, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and fresh lime juice. Mix well to create a flavorful glaze.
  5. Add Sauce and Vegetables: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the chicken. Add the mixed vegetables and cook for 3-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  6. Serve: Place cooked rice or quinoa in bowls. Top with the glazed chicken and vegetables. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the dish for extra flavor and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use cooked rice or quinoa prepared ahead of time for quicker assembly.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey according to your preferred spice level.
  • Substitute vegetables based on seasonality or preference, such as carrots, zucchini, or snow peas.
  • For extra zing, garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
