  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 500 g chicken breast fillets
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 0.5 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Steamed rice
  • Tenderstem broccoli
  • Dry roasted peanuts
  • Lime wedges
  • Green onions

Instructions

  1. Whisk together vegetable oil, Sriracha, cornstarch, soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, minced garlic, and chili powder in a bowl to create the marinade.
  2. Cut the chicken breast fillets into strips and coat them in the marinade. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.
  4. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and simmer until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
  5. Serve the chicken over a bed of steamed rice, with tenderstem broccoli, chopped peanuts, and sliced green onions, adding lime juice before serving.

Notes

Feel free to swap out chicken for shrimp or tofu. For a low-carb option, consider using cauliflower rice instead of steamed rice.
