Instructions

Heat the Oil: Pour the 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a pan and heat it over medium heat until shimmering, preparing it for sautéing.
Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it does not brown or burn.
Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken fillet to the pan and season with salt and black pepper. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Add Vegetables: Mix in the cup of mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots) with the chicken and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Prepare to Serve: Plate the cooked rice evenly into serving bowls.
Assemble the Bowl: Spoon the hot chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice in each bowl.
Drizzle with Hot Honey: Finish by drizzling 2 tablespoons of hot honey over each bowl for a sweet and spicy kick just before serving.
