Ingredients
2 lbs chicken breast
2 cups uncooked white rice
4 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup honey
2 tbsp hot sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp salt
to taste black pepper
Instructions
Combine chicken cubes, honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a resealable bag
Massage marinade into the chicken for 5 minutes; refrigerate for at least 15 minutes
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat
Add broccoli florets and minced garlic; sauté 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp
Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs clear
Simmer rice in chicken broth or water for 18 minutes
Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in another skillet over medium-high heat
Cook marinated chicken in batches until golden and cooked through (6-8 minutes)
Stir in the marinade and simmer until reduced and glossy, 3-5 minutes
Assemble into individual prep containers (chicken+glaze over rice+broccoli)
Notes
Use tofu instead of chicken for a vegan version.
Swap rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
Tamari replaces soy sauce for gluten-free adaptation.
Beans or sesame seeds add extra protein and crunch.
Marinate overnight for deeper flavor results.
