Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to your spice preference)

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)

  • 1 cup steamed broccoli (or your preferred vegetable)

  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)

  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add honey, sriracha, and apple cider vinegar. Stir and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.

  • Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and return it to the skillet. Toss the chicken in the hot honey sauce to coat it evenly.

  • To assemble the bowls, divide cooked rice into serving bowls, then top with sliced chicken, steamed broccoli, and a drizzle of the hot honey sauce.

  • Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if desired). Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with crispy tofu or tempeh for a plant-based version.

  • Add More Vegetables: You can add roasted carrots, bell peppers, snap peas, or any preferred veggies for extra flavor and nutrition.

  • Rice Alternatives: Quinoa, cauliflower rice, or couscous work as lighter substitutes for rice.

  • Spicy Kick: Increase sriracha or add red pepper flakes for more heat.
