Honey Sriracha Chicken

Now I know, this isn't much of a food blog. But I just had to share this amazing recipe. Ray and I made it yesterday and could not have been more pleased with how it turned out. You can either make it sweet or spicy, and since he left it up to me, we had a nasal-clearing kind of meal. I highly recommend this dish. It's delicious, sweet, spicy, and super easy! 


 INGREDIENTS



  • 3-4 chicken breasts, diced
  • ⅓ cup cornstarch


Sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 2-3 tablespoons sriracha (depending on how spicy you want it)
  • 5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey (depending on how sweet you want it)
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch + 1 tablespoon water
  • optional: crushed red pepper flakes, cooked rice for serving


Ray hard at work ;)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a small-medium sauce pan, together water, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and honey. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Whisk together the 2 tablespoons corn starch and remaining 1 tablespoon of water until dissolved. Add to sauce pan and stir until thickened. Reduce heat to low.
  2. Add diced chicken and ⅓ cup corn starch to a large plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake to coat chicken. Drizzle a large pan or skillet with oil over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until browned and chicken is cooked through. Add the sauce and stir to coat. Sprinkle with crushed pepper flakes if desired and serve over warm rice. 
  3. Enjoy!
