Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)

1 cup mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sriracha

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  2. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice; adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Add mixed vegetables to the skillet with the chicken and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until tender.
  6. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
  7. Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture over the cooked rice and garnish with additional sriracha or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or beef for variety.
  • Use different vegetables like snap peas, edamame, or zucchini.
  • Swap rice for quinoa or riced cauliflower for a low-carb option.
  • Adjust sriracha amount to control spice level.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in microwave or stovetop until heated through.
  • Mayonnaise can be replaced with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • Adding chopped peanuts or cashews adds a crunchy texture.
  • Recipe is gluten-free if using gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
