A vibrant and satisfying dish featuring tender honey lime chicken, fluffy rice, and fresh veggies, perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup veggies (bell peppers, snap peas, or shredded carrots)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh cilantro, diced avocado, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  2. Cook 2 cups of rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add marinated chicken pieces, reserving the marinade.
  4. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Lower heat to medium and pour reserved marinade over the chicken. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  6. Sauté veggies in a separate pan or steam them until tender-crisp.
  7. Assemble bowls with a base of rice, honey lime chicken, and cooked veggies. Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, and sesame seeds, if desired.
  8. Serve immediately for best flavor.
