These Honey Sriracha Chicken Rice Bowls with Creamy Lime Sauce are packed with flavor!

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp olive oil
2–3 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tbsp mayonnaise
Juice and zest of 1 lime
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt, to taste
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
1 cup steamed broccoli
Sliced green onions, to taste
Sesame seeds, to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the mixture together until well-combined. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but no longer than 2 hours for the best flavor and tenderness.
Once the chicken has marinated, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the pieces in the hot skillet, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. You can slice the pieces if desired for easier serving.
In a clean small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt together until smooth. This sauce is the perfect creamy complement to the spicy chicken and the nutritious veggies! Feel free to taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary—maybe adding a touch more lime or a pinch of salt.
Time to bring everything together! Start by placing a serving of cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl. Next, add a generous portion of steamed broccoli over the rice. Top with the deliciously cooked chicken pieces and drizzle with your creamy lime sauce. Don’t forget to sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top for that extra flair and flavor!

Notes

For extra tenderness, consider marinating the chicken overnight. Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption. Customize the spicy level of the dish by adjusting the amount of Sriracha used.
