Life gets hectic, doesn't it? Between work, family, and trying to squeeze in some semblance of a social life, sometimes the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen. That's where this recipe comes in. It's designed for simplicity without sacrificing flavor. I stumbled upon this combination quite by accident one evening when I was rummaging through my fridge, desperate for a quick dinner solution. The result? Pure magic! Now its in my weekly rotation.
What I particularly adore about this bowl is its versatility. You can easily adapt it to your liking by swapping out vegetables or adding a sprinkle of your favorite spices. Feel free to play around with the ratio of honey to mustard, too, to tailor the sweetness and tanginess to your palate. Wanna know a secret? A tiny pinch of red pepper flakes can elevate the entire dish!
The magic of honey mustard chicken lies in its beautifully balanced flavors. The sweetness of honey tempers the sharpness of mustard, creating a glaze that's both comforting and exciting. Paired with the simplicity of rice and the freshness of vegetables, it's a culinary experience that's both satisfying and guilt-free. And lets be honest, who doesn't love a one-bowl meal for easy cleanup?

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: Cook rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside. I really like to cook the rice the day before, somehow its better the next day.
- Cut the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking and makes it easier to eat in the bowl. If the chicken is frozen, let it thaw out completely before cutting. Its a mistake ive made way too many times. Make sure to sanitize cutting board, just in case.
- Make the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Adjust the honey to mustard ratio to your liking. I like mine on the sweeter side!
- Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with half of the honey mustard sauce. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it becomes!
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Add Remaining Sauce: Pour the remaining honey mustard sauce over the chicken and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and evenly coats the chicken. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your desired vegetables. You can steam, roast, or sauté them. I personally love steamed broccoli and sliced bell peppers. Frozen veggies are awesome too!
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked rice into bowls. Top with the honey mustard chicken and your prepared vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions, if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy Honey Mustard Chicken Rice Bowl! For an extra touch, add a drizzle of sriracha for a bit of heat. Be careful, it can get hot very fast! And now you get to wash all the dishies.
📝 Notes
