Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2–3 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 whole lime, juiced and zested
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- To taste salt
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 cup steamed broccoli
- To taste sliced green onions
- To taste sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk together until everything blends into a glossy, vibrant sauce.
- Add the bite-sized chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring every piece is coated generously. Cover the bowl—this will go in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for intense flavor).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, retrieve the marinated chicken, shaking off any excess marinade. Place the chicken in the skillet, letting it sizzle for about 5-7 minutes on each side until it’s caramelized and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Afterward, let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
- While the chicken rests, prepare the creamy lime sauce. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir until completely smooth, adjusting seasoning to taste.
- In serving bowls, layer your base of cooked rice and top it with steamed broccoli and slices of honey Sriracha chicken. Drizzle the entire composition generously with creamy lime sauce.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, creating an inviting presentation. Serve immediately, relishing the explosion of flavors in every bite.
Notes
Feel free to customize with different proteins or vegetables. Marinate chicken overnight for better flavor.
