Creating the Hot Honey Chicken Bowl is a simple process that can be broken down into clear steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces for easier cooking and eating.
2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken pieces with this spice mix.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
5. Add Hot Honey: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the hot honey. Stir to coat the chicken evenly, letting it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Prepare the Base: In serving bowls, place a scoop of cooked rice or quinoa as the base.
7. Assemble the Bowl: Layer fresh mixed greens over the rice, then add the honey-glazed chicken.
8. Add Vegetables: Top with your diced veggies and add the sliced avocado for creaminess.
9. Garnish: Optionally sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added texture and flavor.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy the bowl while it’s fresh, savoring the interplay of flavors and textures.
