Spicy Sriracha Chicken and Quinoa Bowl
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and honey. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Add the diced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and shredded carrots to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Pour the sriracha sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among 4 serving bowls. Top with the spicy sriracha chicken and vegetable mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and a lime wedge.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
