Honey Sriracha Chicken
This Honey Sriracha Chicken is a quick, flavor-packed skillet dinner made with simple, wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup sriracha
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add in the chicken broth and deglaze the pan.
- Add in the sriracha and honey. Stir well and simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over each piece, letting it simmer for another 2–3 minutes to coat evenly.
- Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve over rice or steamed vegetables.

Notes
- Adjust the heat: Start with less sriracha if you prefer mild spice, then add more to taste.
- Simmer the sauce: Let the honey and sriracha reduce slightly, it thickens into a sticky glaze that coats the chicken perfectly.
- Don’t overcook the chicken: Remove from heat as soon as it reaches 165°F for tender, juicy meat.
- Add a squeeze of lime: A touch of acidity brightens the flavor and balances the sweetness.
- Use thighs instead: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs stay extra juicy and work just as well.
- Make extra sauce: Double the honey and sriracha mixture if you like extra to drizzle over rice or veggies.
- Serving idea: Pairs beautifully with jasmine rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a simple green salad.
