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 minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 red chili thinly sliced
  • to taste fresh cilantro for garnish
  • cooked white rice to serve

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and lime juice to prepare the marinade.
  2. Toss the chicken pieces into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken, reserving the leftover marinade.
  4. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Lower the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, stirring frequently as the sauce thickens for about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the sliced red chili for color and heat, then serve over white rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

For juicier results, you can substitute chicken breasts with thighs. Consider using maple syrup or brown sugar in place of honey. Adjust the level of spiciness by modifying the amount of sriracha or using alternatives. Fresh ingredients like garlic and ginger yield the best flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months, making it great for meal prep. For added texture, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top before serving. Enjoy!
