Description

This Honey Sriracha Chicken Bowl delivers the perfect sweet-heat balance with a glossy sauce that clings to every bite, plus fresh crunchy toppings that make it feel light and satisfying.


Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for extra crisp)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or neutral oil)

For the sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or lime juice)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)

For the bowls

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or brown rice)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds, to taste
  • Optional: avocado, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch (if using) until coated.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook 5–7 minutes, turning, until browned and cooked through.
  3. While chicken cooks, whisk honey, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil (optional), and garlic in a small bowl.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Pour sauce into the skillet and stir to coat chicken. Simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy and slightly thick.
  5. Assemble bowls with rice, lettuce/cabbage, cucumber, carrots, and chicken. Drizzle extra sauce from the pan over the top.
  6. Finish with green onions and sesame seeds. Add lime or avocado if you want.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store chicken, rice, and toppings separately so the veggies stay crisp.
  • For less heat, start with half the sriracha and add more after tasting.
  • For extra crisp chicken, use cornstarch and avoid overcrowding the pan.
