Ingredients

Protein

  • Chicken breasts or thighs – 1 lb, cut into bite-sized pieces

Sauce

  • Fresh garlic cloves – 3 cloves, minced
  • Honey (natural) – 3 tablespoons
  • Soy sauce (natural) – 3 tablespoons
  • Apple cider vinegar – 1 tablespoon
  • Natural gelling agent – 1/4 teaspoon

Vegetables

  • Bell peppers – 1 cup, sliced
  • Snap peas – 1 cup
  • Broccoli florets – 1 cup
  • Green onions – 2 stalks, chopped

Base

  • Cooked rice or quinoa – 2 cups

Cooking

  • Olive oil – 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Chop all fresh vegetables and slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Mince the garlic finely to release bold, aromatic flavor for the sauce.
  2. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce (natural): In a small bowl, whisk together honey (natural), minced garlic, soy sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and natural gelling agent until well combined. Set aside to let flavors meld.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté for 6-8 minutes, or until golden on the outside and fully cooked inside.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: Remove chicken from the pan and set aside briefly. Add a splash of olive oil to the pan, then toss in the sliced vegetables. Cook until tender-crisp, preserving their vibrant color and fresh texture.
  5. Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce (natural) over and stir to coat evenly. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken and veggies.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Spoon cooked rice or quinoa into bowls. Top with the honey garlic chicken and vegetables mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions for freshness and color.

Notes

  • Use freshly minced garlic for the most aromatic and flavorful sauce.
  • Cook chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and ensure a golden sear.
  • Prepare the sauce ahead to allow flavors to meld and deepen.
  • Add natural gelling agent gradually to achieve a perfect sauce thickness.
  • Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking and texture balance.
