How to Make the Recipe

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your Hot Honey Chicken Bowl:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. While the chicken is marinating, heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the sliced bell peppers until they are softened, which should take about 5 minutes.
4. Transfer the marinated chicken to an oven-safe dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. The aroma will be irresistible!
5. Fluff your cooked rice or quinoa in bowls; top with the baked chicken, sautéed veggies, and garnish with green onions. Voila! Your Hot Honey Chicken Bowl is ready to be devoured.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Hot Honey Chicken Bowl turns out perfectly:

• For an extra kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
• If you’re short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken to speed up the process.
• Feel free to swap out the bell peppers for other veggies like broccoli or snap peas for a different flavor profile.
• This recipe is also great for Meal Prep Meals With Chicken; just store the components separately until you’re ready to eat.

This Hot Honey Chicken Bowl is perfect as is, but you can also serve it with:

• A side of crispy wontons for a delightful crunch.
