Description
Hot Honey Chicken Bowls are a delicious combination of sweet and spicy flavors, featuring crispy chicken thighs coated in a hot honey sauce, served over a bed of fluffy rice with fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Cook the white rice according to package instructions and set aside.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and coat them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the cooked chicken in the skillet and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with the hot honey chicken, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, try adding chopped peanuts or cashews on top before serving.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with crispy tofu and use vegetable broth for cooking the rice.
