15-minute dinner for busy evenings
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?!
Do these chicken breasts look good or what? Crispy outside and so juicy inside.
How to serve
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.

Sriracha and honey go really well together! I can't say no to a sweet & spicy flavored chicken breast.
Kelly says
One of my faves! Thanks so much!
David @ Spiced says
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 says
Your in-laws are in for a treat. I'd love to eat anything coming out of your kitchen! Thanks so much, David!
