How to Make Hot Honey Chicken Bowls

  • Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add boneless chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • In a bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, minced garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne, and crushed red pepper until well blended.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet, lower the heat, and toss in the zucchini and summer squash. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until they’re slightly tender.
  • Layer the shredded carrots over the sautéed vegetables, then place the chicken back into the skillet. Pour the hot honey sauce over everything.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through.
  • Switch your oven to high broil and broil for 3-5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
  • Remove from oven, cube the chicken, mix with extra hot honey sauce, and serve over cooked rice with veggies.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor. Prepare in advance without toppings to keep fresh in the fridge for 5-7 days.
