4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the hot honey sauce.
5. Divide the cooked grains evenly into serving bowls.
6. Top each bowl with the glazed chicken, steamed broccoli, and roasted sweet potatoes.
7. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the bowls and garnish with sesame seeds, fresh herbs, or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Use fresh, high-quality honey for the best flavor.
Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to enhance the sweetness and spice.
Double the sauce if you prefer extra drizzle over the vegetables and grains.
Adjust the heat level by increasing or decreasing the hot sauce or chili flakes.
