Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1/4 cup hot honey (honey mixed with a splash of hot sauce)
Grains
Vegetables
- 2 cups roasted diced sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts
Toppings
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
- Sear the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the cubed chicken breast. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, drizzle half of the hot honey over the chicken and toss to coat.
- Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized, stirring once halfway through.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa evenly among serving bowls. Top each with the roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts, and then add the hot honey-glazed chicken on top.
- Add Final Touches: Drizzle the remaining hot honey over each bowl for added sweetness and heat. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese for tanginess and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the honey mixture according to your preferred spice level.
- To save time, use pre-cooked quinoa or roast extra vegetables ahead of time.
- Swap feta with goat cheese or omit for a dairy-free option.
- For a smoky flavor, consider roasting the vegetables with smoked paprika or cumin.
- Use chicken thighs instead of breast for juicier meat.
