Ingredients

Scale

For the Honey Lemon Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

For Serving:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Lemon wedges and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  3. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, and garlic. Pour over the chicken and stir to coat.
  4. Thicken Sauce: Add cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Divide rice or quinoa between 4 bowls. Top with honey lemon chicken, steamed broccoli, carrots, and avocado. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and lemon wedges.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add chopped almonds or cashews.
  • Swap rice for cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • The chicken can be grilled or air-fried instead of pan-cooked.
