Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2-3 tablespoons Sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 whole lime juiced and zested
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • salt to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice white or brown
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli
  • sliced green onions for garnish, to taste
  • sesame seeds for garnish, to taste

Method
 

  1. Combine honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined and the honey dissolves into a glossy, amber-red sauce.
  2. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess, and place in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, and salt. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. In serving bowls, layer cooked rice, steamed broccoli, and sliced honey Sriracha chicken. Drizzle generously with the creamy lime sauce.
  6. Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes
