Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3–4 pieces)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pure honey
  • 2–3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • Fresh vegetables (e.g., diced avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced bell peppers)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, honey, chopped chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, and soy sauce. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (discard excess) and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Prepare the Rice: While chicken is cooking, prepare rice according to package instructions and fluff with a fork when done.
  5. Assemble Your Bowls: Slice cooked chicken into strips. Layer cooked rice in serving bowls followed by sliced chicken on top.
  6. Add Fresh Toppings: Garnish each bowl with fresh vegetables like diced avocado or chopped cilantro.
