Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 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 Adjust for spice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, mix together the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Adjust the sriracha for spice or add more honey for sweetness.
  3. Toss in the mixed veggies with the chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until just tender.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat, pour the sauce over the chicken and veggies, stirring to coat. Serve over rice and garnish with extra sriracha or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

This dish keeps well for about 3-4 days in the fridge and can be frozen for up to 3 months. For the best rice, measure your water carefully.
