  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Cook the Rice: Cook your rice according to the package instructions. Set aside. Beginner Note: A rice cooker helps ensure consistent results.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Beginner Note: Smaller pieces cook faster and more evenly.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked (6–8 minutes, internal temp 165°F). Beginner Note: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  4. Mix the Sauce: Combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust spice and sweetness to taste.
  5. Add the Vegetables: Stir in the mixed veggies and cook for 2–3 minutes until just tender but still crisp. Beginner Note: Don’t overcook; veggies should keep some crunch.
  6. Combine and Serve: Remove skillet from heat, pour sauce over chicken and veggies, and toss to coat. Serve over rice, garnished with sriracha or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked.
  • Adjust sriracha for desired spice level.
  • Don’t overcook vegetables.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
