Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp hot honey
Salad Base
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the pan and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until the chicken is fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Drizzle Hot Honey: Remove the chicken from the pan and drizzle the hot honey evenly over the cooked chicken, allowing the sweet and spicy flavors to coat it thoroughly.
- Assemble the Bowl: In each serving bowl, arrange a base of mixed greens, then add the sliced cucumber and avocado on top. Place the hot honey-glazed chicken breast over the salad.
- Serve: Optionally, add your favorite dressing or a simple vinaigrette to the bowl for an extra layer of flavor and serve immediately for a fresh and balanced meal.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs instead of breasts if you prefer a juicier texture.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey depending on your spice tolerance.
- Add toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
- Serve with cooked quinoa or rice for a heartier meal.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh.
