Whether you are looking for a reliable meal prep option or a quick dinner to satisfy your takeout cravings, these Honey Sriracha Chicken Bowls will quickly become a staple in your regular rotation.

To make these flavorful bowls, you will need a mix of fresh produce, lean proteins, and pantry staples. The key to the success of these Honey Sriracha Chicken Bowls is the combination of the spicy sauce and the contrast between the roasted sweet potatoes and protein-rich edamame.

• 2 medium sweet potatoes (cut into thick wedges)
• 12-ounce bag frozen shelled edamame
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/3 cup honey and 2 tablespoons sriracha
• Avocado oil, tamari, and Worcestershire sauce

These bowls are highly customizable based on what you have in your pantry.

• Use brown rice, jasmine rice, or even quinoa as your base for a different texture.
• Substitute tamari with soy sauce or coconut aminos if needed.
• For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for extra-firm tofu tossed in the same cornstarch mixture.
• If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of sriracha in the sauce glaze.
• Use maple syrup instead of honey for a slightly different sweetness level.

Step 1: Roast the Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 375°F. On a large nonstick sheet pan, toss the sweet potatoes with avocado oil and salt on one half. On the other half, toss the edamame with oil, honey, and sesame seeds. Bake for 35-40 minutes, ensuring you mix everything halfway through for even browning.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the cubed chicken until each piece is evenly coated. This light coating creates that signature golden-brown texture when pan-fried.

Step 3: Pan-Fry the Chicken

Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and fry for 5-8 minutes per side until the edges are crispy and the chicken is cooked through. Break up any pieces that stick together.

Step 4: Glaze and Assemble

Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a bowl, reserving 1/4 cup for later. Toss the cooked chicken in the remaining sauce until well coated. Serve over a bed of rice with the roasted vegetables, drizzling the reserved sauce over the top for an extra flavor boost.

These bowls are a complete meal, but you can enhance them with extra toppings.

• Top with fresh cilantro for a bright pop of flavor.
• Add a squeeze of lime juice over the top just before eating to cut through the richness.
• Pair with a side of Asian-style cucumber salad for added crunch.
• Serve with extra sriracha on the side for spice enthusiasts.

Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the best texture, reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, these bowls are excellent for meal prep. You can roast the vegetables and cook the chicken in advance, storing the sauce separately until you are ready to assemble.

Can I freeze this recipe?

You can freeze the cooked chicken, but the vegetables may lose some texture upon thawing. We recommend enjoying this dish fresh or from the fridge.

What can I serve with this recipe?

Since these bowls are nutrient-dense and filling, they go well with simple sides like steamed broccoli or a quick refreshing slaw.

How do I keep this recipe from drying out?

Ensure you don’t overcook the chicken breasts; as soon as they reach 165°F internally, they are ready. The glaze also helps keep the chicken moist during reheating.
