1/3 cup honey

2-3 Tablespoons sriracha (or any type of hot sauce)

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)

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)

1/2 medium lime (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Preheat Oven

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cook Chicken in Skillet

Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts for 5 minutes per side.

Mix Sauce

Meanwhile, whisk the honey, sriracha, garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne (optional), and crushed red pepper (optional) to create the sauce.

Set Aside Extra Sauce

Set aside 3-4 Tablespoons of the hot honey sauce.

Remove Chicken

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside.

Add Squash to Skillet

Slightly lower the heat, then toss the squash in the skillet for 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat.

Pour Sauce Over Chicken

Add the carrots over the squash, then place the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables, and coat both sides of the chicken with the hot honey sauce.

Bake Skillet

Place the entire skillet in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes (or until the chicken is fully cooked), stirring the vegetables halfway through.

Mix Ranch Dressing

While it bakes, mix up the ranch dressing drizzle.

Broil

Turn the oven to high broil and broil for 3-5 minutes to brown and caramelize the sauce on the chicken.

Let Cool

Remove the skillet from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes.

Cube Hot Honey Chicken

Cut the chicken into cubes and coat evenly in the remaining hot honey sauce.

Assemble Bowls

Assemble the bowls with rice, veggies, chicken, and drizzle with any extra hot honey and ranch dressing.

Add sliced avocado and a squeeze of lime if you’d like. Enjoy!
