# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - Salt, to taste
03 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Sauce

04 - 1/2 cup hot honey
05 - 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
06 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

→ Bowl Assembly

09 - 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
10 - 2 cups mixed vegetables, such as bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas

# How to Make It:

01 - Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
03 - In a small bowl, combine hot honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the chicken.
04 - Add mixed vegetables to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking. Sauté until the vegetables are just tender but retain crispness.
05 - Spoon cooked rice or quinoa into serving bowls. Top with chicken breasts and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle additional sauce from the pan over each bowl before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For optimal tenderness, allow the seared chicken to rest briefly before slicing and adding to bowls.
