Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1/3 cup raw honey
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

Instructions

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Add chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Prepare the sauce: Pour reserved marinade into a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Slice the chicken: Let the cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
Assemble: In bowls, layer cooked rice or quinoa, topped with sliced chicken and drizzled with reduced sauce. Garnish with green onions.
