– ½ cup honey
– 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce (adjust based on spice preference)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)

Instructions

Creating your Honey Chipotle Chicken Bowls with Corn Salsa is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey and chipotle sauce until well combined. Adjust the amount of chipotle based on your heat preference.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
4. Glaze the Chicken: Pour the honey chipotle sauce over the chicken in the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
5. Prepare the Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the corn, diced red bell pepper, avocado, chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently and set aside.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer cooked rice as the base, followed by sliced honey chipotle chicken. Top with fresh corn salsa and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for garnish.
