1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
-
1 cup (200 g) cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)

1 cup (150 g) mixed veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)

2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tsp (5 g) garlic powder
-
1 tsp (5 ml) lime juice
Instructions
-
Cook rice according to package directions. Keep warm.

Cube the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F / 74°C).
-
Whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
-
Add mixed veggies to the skillet with chicken. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.
-
Remove from heat, toss chicken and veggies with sauce.

Serve over rice. Garnish with green onions or extra sriracha, if desired.
Notes
Adjust spice by changing the sriracha-to-honey ratio.
Swap veggies for whatever you have on hand (zucchini, snap peas, or frozen stir-fry mix).
Use microwaveable rice for an even faster meal.
Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a lighter, tangier sauce.
