Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/3 cup hot honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the hot honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Place the chicken in a zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prep the vegetables: Rinse the broccoli florets and slice the red bell pepper and red onion. Set aside.
  3. Cook the rice: Cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions. Keep warm.
  4. Sear the chicken: In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and sauté the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until tender.
  6. Thicken the marinade: Bring the reserved marinade to a simmer in a saucepan and thicken for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  7. Assemble the bowls: Add jasmine rice to each bowl, top with vegetables and sliced chicken, and drizzle with thickened marinade.
  8. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken longer and avoid overcrowding the pan while searing.
