Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chicken and Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup hot honey store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking
Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup rice white or brown
  • 1 cup bell peppers sliced
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 1 lime for serving
  • cilantro for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil. Add the chicken thighs and cook until golden and crispy, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  2. Once the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), mix the hot honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a bowl. Pour this sauce over the chicken in the skillet and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until well-coated.
  3. In another pan, sauté the sliced bell peppers until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Assembly
  1. In individual bowls, layer the rice, followed by sautéed bell peppers, and place the hot honey chicken on top.
  2. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and cilantro, and add a wedge of lime to each bowl for squeezing over the top.

Notes

For perfect results, ensure chicken is evenly thick for uniform cooking. Consider homemade hot honey for added spice. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
