Hot Honey Chicken Plate (Sweetgreen Dupe)
Nov 01, 2024 11:42 AM
The hot honey chicken plate at Sweetgreen is delicious, with blackened chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, a carrot and cabbage slaw and crispy onions on top. But since Sweetgreen is pretty expensive, I decided to make my own at home!
This recipe is perfect for meal prep, and will save you money!
My husband always orders the hot honey chicken plate at Sweetgreen, so we set out to make our own. The entire process is pretty simple. The chicken is marinated in a spiced oil-balsamic mixture, then grilled until nice and charred. The chicken then goes atop a quinoa we cook in broth for extra flavor, alongside roasted sweet potatoes and a carrot-cabbage slaw.
The whole thing is then covered in a sweet, spicy, and tangy hot honey dressing, and a few frizzled shallots are sprinkled over the top for some extra crunch.
