1 cup mixed veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)
04 -
2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste
→ For the Sauce
06 -
1/2 cup mayonnaise
07 -
2 tablespoons sriracha
08 -
1 tablespoon honey
09 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 -
1 teaspoon lime juice
# Directions:
01 -
Cook your rice according to the package instructions and set it aside. Using a rice cooker simplifies this process for consistently perfect results.
02 -
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken pieces until golden and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Ensure the skillet is hot to avoid sticking, and use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F.
04 -
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice. Adjust flavors by adding more sriracha for spice or honey for sweetness.
05 -
Once the chicken is cooked, add mixed vegetables to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
06 -
Remove the skillet from heat. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Serve over rice and garnish with extra sriracha or chopped green onions if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
02 -
Adjust the amount of sriracha to modify the spice level.
03 -
Do not overcook the vegetables to maintain their texture and nutrients.
04 -
Cauliflower rice can be used for a low-carb option.
