Honey Sriracha Chicken
Honey sriracha chicken is the perfect combination of spicy and sweet. The chicken gets sticky and caramelized in the skillet and is so delicious.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces chicken breast 1 large chicken breast or 2 small chicken breasts
- 1 Tablespoon sriracha
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- ½ lime
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- sesame seeds optional
- cilantro optional
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breast(s) into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size.
- To a small bowl, add the sriracha, honey, and juice from ½ a lime. Stir to combine.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil to the pan. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the honey sriracha sauce to the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently until sauce thickens and gets sticky and chicken starts to caramelize from the honey.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- For best results, cook the chicken in the sauce until the sauce starts to get caramelized on the chicken. That provides the sticky sweet sauce with the maximum flavor!
- Want a bit more sweetness? You can add a touch more honey or simply drizzle additional honey over the chicken after serving.
- To adjust the spice level, add less or more sriracha depending on your preference.
- Cleaning tip - If the sticky sauce makes your skillet hard to clean, add a layer of water and heat the pan over medium heat to deglaze your pan. Scrape pan gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to easily remove the sticky sauce.
