Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup hot honey (or mix 1/4 cup honey + 2 tbsp hot sauce)

Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the pieces in flour to lightly coat.

- Assemble Bowls: Divide cooked rice into bowls. Top with chicken, drizzle with hot honey glaze, and add veggies and avocado slices.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds or fresh herbs and serve immediately.
