Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup hot honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)

Add fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for a cooling contrast

Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear 6–8 minutes per side until cooked through and golden. Remove and rest.
In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Pour in soy sauce, lime juice, and hot honey. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Slice chicken and return to pan to coat in glaze.
Meanwhile, stir-fry vegetables in remaining olive oil until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Assemble bowls with rice or quinoa, top with glazed chicken and veggies. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
