Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Sauce:

• ½ cup mayonnaise

• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon lime juice

For the Bowl:

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

• 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots)

Directions

1. Cook the Rice: Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.

4. Prepare the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice in a small bowl until well combined.

5. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables and sauté for an additional 2–3 minutes until they are just tender.

6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Reduce heat to low and pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat evenly and heat through.

7. Assemble the Bowl: Place the cooked rice in serving bowls. Top with the chicken and vegetable mixture.

8. Serve: Garnish with additional sriracha or chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
