These Hot Honey Chicken Bowls are a perfect blend of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors. Crispy chicken is drizzled with a delicious hot honey glaze, served over rice or greens with fresh toppings for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)

For the Hot Honey Glaze:

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to your heat preference)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

For the Bowls:

2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)

1 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Avocado slices (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Dredge each piece in flour, coating both sides evenly.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  4. Slice the cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces. Divide the rice into bowls and top with the sliced chicken. Drizzle the hot honey glaze generously over the chicken.
  5. Add the diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and fresh cilantro. Optionally, add avocado slices and lime wedges for extra freshness.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!

Notes

For a spicier version, increase the hot sauce or red pepper flakes in the glaze.

Substitute crispy tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version of this dish.

Grill the chicken for a smoky flavor instead of pan-frying for a lighter option.

Use quinoa, couscous, or salad greens instead of rice for a different twist.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or skillet.
