Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • Always pan or other deep skillet
  • 2 small bowls
  • medium bowl
  • Whisk
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Tongs
  • spatula

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1¼ lbs chicken breast cubed
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil

Spicy Mayo

  • 1/2 cup light mayo
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tbsp adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Hot Honey Soy Glaze

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp chipotle adobo sauce
  • 1/2 tsp all purpose flour

Build the bowl

  • 2 bags Success Boil-in-bag White Rice
  • 2 cobs corn or 1 bag frozen corn
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta 4 oz
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/4 cup green onion diced
  • 1/2 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce diced

Instructions

Chicken

  • Cut chicken into even, ½-inch bite-size pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss chicken cubes with a mixture of all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper until coated.

  • Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken. Use a rubber spatula to keep the pieces moving—since the flour coating can make them stick together.

Sauce

  • While the chicken cooks, whisk together the ingredients for both sauces in separate small bowls: (1) Spicy Mayo and (2) Hot Honey Soy Glaze (make sure the flour is fully incorporated so the glaze thickens properly).
  • When the chicken reaches about 135°F (almost fully cooked), pour in the hot honey glaze.
  • Stir well to coat. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the chicken reaches 165°F and the sauce has thickened.

Corn Salad

  • In a separate mixing bowl, mix together cooked corn, 1 avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and lime juice until combined. Set aside.

Rice

  • Make the rice according to package instructions.

Assembly

  • In bowls, layer the rice as your base. Top with glazed chicken, corn-avocado salad, and diced adobo peppers. Drizzle with honey chipotle mayo.

Notes

Store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days. This meal keeps really well completely assembled and can be reheated easily. A great option for meal prep!
You need to make sure the flour is fully incorporated into the sauce before adding to the skillet. If there are any clumps, they will only get larger once it hits the heat.
