A flavorful and balanced meal combining chicken, rice, and veggies with a creamy, spicy sauce, perfect for beginner cooks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
- 1 cup mixed veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Mix sauce ingredients in a small bowl: mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice, adjusting for taste.
