Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
- 1 cup mixed veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Cook your rice according to the package instructions and set it aside. Using a rice cooker can ensure perfectly cooked rice every time. For best results, fluff with a fork after cooking.
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season generously with salt and pepper. Smaller pieces allow for fast, even cooking and more flavor in every bite.
- Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Stir occasionally for even browning and prevent sticking.
- Mix the Sauce: While the chicken cooks, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir well and taste; add extra sriracha for more heat or more honey for extra sweetness, as desired.
- Add the Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add mixed veggies to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant. Avoid overcooking to maintain texture and nutrients.
- Combine and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, tossing well to coat everything evenly. Serve over bowls of cooked rice, garnishing with extra sriracha or chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee the chicken is fully cooked.
- Adjust sriracha to match your spice preference—the sauce is very customizable!
- For a low-carb meal, substitute cauliflower rice for regular rice.
- Do not overcook the veggies; keep them crisp for maximum texture.
- Optional garnishes include green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
