Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 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 (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Cook your rice according to package instructions or use a rice cooker for perfect results. Set aside once cooked.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor and ensure even cooking.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Mix the Sauce: While the chicken cooks, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice in a bowl. Adjust sriracha and honey to balance the spice and sweetness to your liking.
  5. Add the Vegetables: Toss in mixed veggies with the cooked chicken and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still slightly crisp to retain texture and nutrients.
  6. Combine and Serve: Remove skillet from heat, pour the sauce over chicken and vegetables, and stir well to coat. Serve over a mound of cooked rice and garnish with extra sriracha or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
  • Adjust sriracha sauce quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • Do not overcook vegetables to maintain their crisp texture and nutrients.
  • Cauliflower rice can be used as a low-carb substitute for traditional rice.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
