- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package directions, then keep warm.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium‑high heat, add the chicken, season, and sear until golden and cooked through.
- Reduce heat to medium, pour hot honey over the chicken, and stir to coat; simmer 2‑3 minutes until glaze thickens.
- In a separate pan, sauté bell pepper and broccoli with a splash of oil until bright and crisp.
