Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 medium boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sriracha or your preferred hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper optional

For the Bowls:

  • 2 medium zucchini sliced
  • 1 medium summer squash sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 medium avocado sliced
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 medium lime
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, cayenne (if using), and crushed red pepper.
  • Cook the Chicken: Sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Make the Hot Honey Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add honey, sriracha, and minced garlic. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Coat the Chicken: Slice the chicken into strips and return it to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, sauté zucchini and summer squash in a separate pan with a little oil for about 3-4 minutes until tender.
  • Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice (or quinoa) into four bowls. Top with the sliced hot honey chicken, sautéed vegetables, shredded carrots, and avocado slices.
  • Finish & Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl and drizzle with ranch dressing if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
