Ingredients
  

  • 500 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 red chili pepper thinly sliced
  • q.s. fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Nonstick skillet
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and lime juice.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they’re fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, stirring constantly until it reduces and thickens into a glaze.
  5. Toss in the sliced red chili for an extra kick and stir to ensure even coating.

Notes

Try using freshly grated ginger for better flavor. Pat the chicken dry before marinating for better browning. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet, as microwaving may make the chicken soggy. For a lower-carb option, serve the chicken with cauliflower rice instead of white rice. When transporting, pack the sauce separately to maintain freshness.
