Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1/4 cup hot honey sauce
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large non‑stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are golden brown and cooked through, about 6‑8 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the hot honey sauce over the chicken. Toss gently and let the sauce thicken and coat the meat, about 2 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water or broth.
- Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 2‑3 minutes, just until they are warmed through but still crisp.
- Spoon the cooked rice into serving bowls, top with the honey‑glazed chicken and vegetables, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime if desired.
Notes
- For extra heat
- stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes with the sauce. The bowl reheats well in the microwave or a skillet with a splash of water.
