Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1/3 cup hot honey
2 cups fresh vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
Fresh herbs (cilantro or green onions) for garnish

Instructions

Prep your ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Slice chicken breasts into chunks.
Marinate chicken in a bowl with soy sauce and sesame oil for at least 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken until golden brown and fully cooked (7-10 minutes), flipping occasionally.
Add vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they soften but retain color.
Remove from heat and drizzle generously with hot honey; toss gently to coat.
Assemble bowls starting with rice or quinoa as the base, topping with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
