Prepare a satisfying Honey Mustard Chicken Bowl featuring tender chicken glazed in a sweet and tangy sauce, served over your choice of grain with fresh vegetables and a rich, creamy dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Honey Mustard Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • For the Creamy Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons water (to thin, if needed)
  • For the Bowl Assembly:
  • 3 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 2 cups mixed greens (spinach or romaine)
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. While the chicken cooks, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  4. Pour the glaze over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a separate small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), whole grain mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth. Add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired pouring consistency.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa or rice among four bowls. Top with mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and shredded carrots.
  7. Place the glazed Honey Mustard Chicken over the vegetables in each bowl.
  8. Drizzle generously with the Creamy Sauce before serving.

Notes

  • For meal prepping, store the chicken, sauce, and bowl components separately. Assemble just before eating to keep the greens crisp.
  • You can substitute chicken with firm tofu cubes for a vegetarian option; bake or pan-fry the tofu before glazing.
  • Use whole grain mustard in the glaze for a sharper flavor contrast if you prefer.
