Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Pat the chicken dry. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder on both sides.
Cook the Chicken

Add Hot Honey
- Pour hot honey into the skillet. Heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring to warm the sauce.
Toss Chicken in Sauce
- Add sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss gently to coat evenly in the hot honey.
Assemble the Bowl

Drizzle Extra Sauce

Garnish the Bowl

Serve and Enjoy

Notes
- Adjust the Heat: Add more chili flakes for spicier honey or less for milder flavor.
- Change the Vegetables: Use zucchini, snap peas, or cauliflower for variety.
- Make it Low-Carb: Serve over cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
- Make it Crispy: Coat chicken in cornstarch before searing for extra crunch.
- Meal Prep: Store in airtight containers for 3–4 days. Reheat before eating.
