Creating a Hot Honey Chicken Bowl is straightforward and satisfying. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Grains: Begin by cooking your brown rice or quinoa according to the package instructions. Set aside when done.

2. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs or breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.

4. Add Hot Honey: Once the chicken is almost cooked through, drizzle in the hot honey. Stir to coat all pieces evenly and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

5. Sauté the Vegetables: In another pan, sauté the broccoli, bell peppers, and red onion in a bit of olive oil over medium heat, just until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, add a generous scoop of your cooked grains as the base. Top with hot honey chicken, sautéed vegetables, and fresh cilantro.

7. Serve with Lime: Squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top for an added zesty kick.

By following these steps, you’ll craft an incredible Hot Honey Chicken Bowl that showcases comforting flavors and delightful textures.
