# Instructions:
01 -
Prepare the rice according to the package instructions. Set it aside once cooked. Using a rice cooker ensures consistent results and simplifies the process.
02 -
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor. Cutting into small pieces ensures quick and even cooking.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding chicken to prevent sticking. Use a meat thermometer to check it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
04 -
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice. Taste and adjust for desired spice or sweetness levels. The sauce should have a creamy, spicy, and sweet balance.
05 -
Add mixed vegetables to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still slightly crisp to retain texture and nutrients.
06 -
Remove the skillet from heat. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Serve over rice and garnish with extra sriracha or green onions if desired.
