Cooking Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. While the oven heats, prepare the hot honey sauce by mixing together the sriracha, honey, minced garlic, cayenne, and crushed red pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil and then place the boneless chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, until it's browned and nearly cooked through.
Transfer the partially cooked chicken to a baking dish and pour the hot honey sauce over the top, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Once cooked, switch the oven to broil and broil the chicken for an additional 3-5 minutes to caramelize the sauce. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
After broiling, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it over your choice of rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice. Top with your chosen vegetables and a squeeze of lime for added freshness.
When cooking Hot Honey Chicken Bowls, feel free to experiment with different vegetables and toppings to suit your taste. The dish was inspired by a girls trip to LA and discovered at Sweetgreen, leading to its popularity as a home recipe. You can roast sweet potatoes on the side for added nutrition, or whip up a tangy slaw with red cabbage and carrots to complement the dish.
The hot honey sauce can also be adjusted with various hot sauces if you prefer a different flavor or heat level.
