    Everyone needs a quick, weeknight dinner recipe in their back pocket. I whip this one out a lot! It’s super fast, super easy, and super delicious!

    Honey Sriracha Sauce is LIQUID GOLD

    Let me tell you friends, this sauce is incredible. With honey, sriracha, garlic, and lime – it’s a little sweet, a little spicy, a little tangy, and a whole lot of YUM! It simmers down just a bit to become a little syrupy and it just clings to the chicken. Plus, there’s enough sauce to sprinkle over rice or mop up with some crusty bread.

    Add this to your arsenal of chicken breast recipes

    I used chicken breasts in this recipe, because they cook up so fast. Definitely a plus on busy evenings! You can also make it with boneless chicken thighs if you prefer. If your chicken breasts are on the larger side, cut them in half horizontally to make thinner fillets. Mine were on the smaller side so I just hit them a bit with a kitchen mallet to even them out. I’ve dredged these breasts in flour before cooking. It’s totally optional, but I like the crispy coating it gives to the chicken and how it keeps the breasts juicy. Plus the sauce just clings to every nook and cranny!

    How to make Honey Sriracha Chicken Breasts

    Making these Honey Sriracha Chicken Breasts is so easy.

    • Salt and pepper the chicken, then dredge in flour.
    • Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides.
    • Push the chicken to one side of the pan and put in the butter and garlic.
    • Cook the garlic for a half a minute then add the sauce ingredients. Let it simmer for a minute to get bubbly and syrupy, coating the chicken breasts. And done! How easy was that?!

    These Honey Sriracha Chicken Breasts are perfect served with rice and a steamed veggie like broccoli. I made sure there was enough sauce to drizzle over the rice.

      I am a huge fan of honey + sriracha! I've used it as a marinade of sorts before grilling chicken, but I've never made it as a sauce by itself. Excellent idea, Kelly! This chicken looks amazing, and I love how easy it is, too. The lime is a clutch addition here. The in-laws are visiting soon, and I've been thinking about what to make for meals. This one just raced up pretty high on the list! I love the new logo, by the way. 🙂

              Kelly - we have now made this several times including last evening. It is fantastic - the flavors are so well balanced that you can’t tell there is honey or hot sauce or anything specific — just a perfect blend! I did it a little differently last night to make it a one-pot meal. I cut the chicken into small pieces (I only had a half pound), sautéed it with cauliflower and green beans - then added the sauce. You have given us such a gift with this recipe! Thanks again so much!

      My sauce never thickened up like I was hoping it would. I used a cast iron skillet and followed the recipe as such. Thoughts?

      • Kelly

        July 03, 2019 at 4:49 am

        Hi Arielle! Just let it boil a little longer and it will thicken.

        The chicken is cooked in a hot enough pan so that none of the juices come out creating liquid in the pan. When you add the sauce ingredients the pan should still be very hot. Mine comes up to a boil right away. Just let it boil or simmer until it reaches the consistency you're looking for. As it boils, water evaporates, thickening the sauce. Since the sauce is only a few tablespoons of liquid in addition to the honey, this should happen fairly quickly. For me, it only takes less than a minute to reach the desired consistency. No more than a few minutes if your pan is still hot from cooking the chicken. If you're aiming for a more syrupy sauce, you could stir a little cornstarch into the sauce ingredients.

      Very good recipe, we ate almost everything tonight before even touching the veggies haha. I did tweak it since I did not have chicken breasts, so used bone in thighs and only honey I had was a spicy honey I use for competition ribs, and it added another layer of low heat to it. Definitely will be cooking this more, very good taste and easy to make. Thanks for sharing!!
