Ingredients

Protein

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (for a leaner option)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Grains

  • 1 cup quinoa or rice cooked

Greens & Toppings

  • a handful fresh greens (arugula, spinach, or mixed greens)
  • optional avocado slices, toasted almonds, sesame seeds (for toppings)

Sauce & Seasonings

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2/3 tablespoons hot sauce (your favorite hot sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • a pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions 

  • Marinate the chicken: season with salt and pepper, then toss in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, and hot honey. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Prepare the hot honey sauce: warm honey over low heat, stir in hot sauce, vinegar, paprika, and salt. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Cook the chicken: sear in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through, drizzling extra hot honey sauce in the last minutes.
  • Roast the vegetables: toss bell pepper and broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper; roast at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
  • Assemble the bowl: start with grains, add roasted vegetables, greens, sliced chicken, and toppings. Drizzle with remaining sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken longer and customize toppings to your preference.
