Ingredients
  

  • Olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs. chicken
  • 1/4 c. almond flour
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 2 medium zucchinis, diced
  • 1 pkg. microwavable rice

Hot Honey Sauce

  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 4 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 - 3 Tbsp. hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. of olive oil over medium heat. Then, combine the chicken, salt, pepper, and almond flour in a large bowl. Use clean hands or a spoon to mix well. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Flip once after the bottom has browned. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Next, sauté the peppers over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside. Then, sauté the zucchini, seasoned with salt and pepper, over medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes. You could also air fry the zucchini, if desired. Add the peppers back to the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Follow the package instructions to cook the package of rice in the microwave.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the butter until melted. Then, whisk in the honey and hot sauce.
  • In serving bowls, layer the rice, sautéed veggies, and chicken. Then, use a spoon to drizzle the hot honey sauce.
