Hot Honey Chicken Bowls Recipe

Hot Honey Chicken Bowls Recipe

There are days when I crave something warm, spicy, and deeply satisfying, and this is exactly what I turn to.

It’s one of those dinner recipes that feels indulgent yet is wonderfully simple to put together.

The chicken is slicked with a fiery, honeyed glaze, the grains soak up all that sticky goodness, and the crisp vegetables bring the perfect crunch.

It’s the kind of meal that makes me feel like I’m treating myself, even when I’ve just thrown it together after a long day.

Description

If you’re looking for dinner with chicken ideas that don’t require endless effort, this is it.

The hot honey gives the chicken an irresistible stickiness, perfectly balancing heat with a touch of sweetness.

I love how it pairs with fluffy rice or nutty quinoa.

They create a dish that’s both comforting and fresh.

And let’s be honest—when meal prep for the week chicken dishes taste this good, leftovers become something to look forward to.

Ingredients
    2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. 3
    Meanwhile, in a small pan, I heat the honey, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, mustard, and garlic over medium heat. Stirring gently, I let the sauce thicken slightly.
  4. 4
    Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the roasted chicken, making sure each piece is gloriously coated. Let it rest for a few minutes so the flavors can settle in.
  5. 5
    Assemble the bowls by layering the quinoa or rice as a base, followed by the honey-glazed chicken, shredded carrots, and cucumber slices.
  6. 6
    Finish with a generous squeeze of lime and a scattering of fresh cilantro.
  7. 7
    Serve immediately or store in containers for an easy healthy recipe idea that makes meal-prepping a joy rather than a chore.
