Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Saucepan

Ingredients
  

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 lb chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp hot honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated

Sweet Chili Hot Honey Sauce

  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp hot honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Rice Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 tbsp green onions sliced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, hot honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken pieces and mix well to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Cooking the Chicken

  • In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Making the Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine sweet chili sauce, hot honey, and soy sauce. Heat over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.

Assembling the Bowl

  • Serve the cooked chicken over a bed of cooked rice. Drizzle with the prepared sauce, ensuring the chicken is well-coated. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Serving

  • Enjoy your Sweet Chili Hot Honey Chicken Bowl immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Storage and Reheating

  • Place any leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
