Honey-Sriracha Lacquered Chicken

The combination of honey, soy sauce and Sriracha can’t be beat – it’s a balance of salty and sweet, with a little heat. I think you’ll agree, this is the perfect weeknight meal!

Honey-Sriracha Lacquered Chicken

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup chicken broth or water

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce or other chili-garlic sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 tablespoon butter

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Fresh cilantro leaves

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, broth, Sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, mustard, and ginger. Add the mixture to the chicken and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half. 

Add the butter and cook until the butter melts. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with fresh cilantro leaves sprinkled over top.
