- Broccoli – Fresh or frozen both work here! Nothing beats fresh roasted broccoli in my opinion but you can definitely use frozen broccoli for convenience.
- Ranch Seasoning – my go-to easy seasoning for vegetables
- Chicken – I used boneless skinless chicken breasts. Chicken thighs would also work great here!
- Olive oil – or any oil of choice.
- Honey
- Sriracha sauce
- Soy sauce – I used low-sodium soy sauce. You can also use coconut aminos to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Ginger paste
- Rice – optional for serving – I used microwave rice to make these bowls come together quickly. White rice, brown rice, or even grain, cauliflower rice, or even roasted potatoes work well here!
- Green onion – optional for serving.
- Sesame seeds – optional for serving. I like the white sesame seeds but black sesame seeds would also work here.
How To Make
The full printable recipe is below, but let me walk you through the process so you know what to expect when you’re making it!
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, add the broccoli and spray generously all over with cooking spray (or use oil).
2. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until tender and roasted to liking. Then toss with ranch seasoning mix and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season both sides with 1 tsp salt (or to taste).
4. Whisk together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce and ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 1-2 minutes. Then stir fry the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink. When done, transfer chicken to a plate to rest. Add the sauce to the skillet and increase heat to high. Let simmer, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce is thick and bubbly. Then remove the skillet from heat. Add the chicken back and toss to evenly coat.
6. To each bowl or container, add 1/3 cup cooked rice (if using), 1/3 of the chicken (148g) and 1/3 of the broccoli (117g). Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds and enjoy!
You can store all the components separately and build your bowls when you are ready to eat them. Or you can go ahead and assemble them into meal prep containers so when you’re ready to enjoy them, all you have to do is heat them up.
Whether you store them as assembled meal prep bowls or separate bowls, make sure they’re stored in an air tight container and they’ll stay fresh for 5-6 days.
To reheat: build your bowls or grab your already assembled bowls, add some water on top of the rice (this prevents it from drying out) and microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Honey Sriracha Chicken Variations
-
- Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken – instead of using 1 pound chicken breast, use one pound of ground chicken!
-
- Honey Sriracha Broccoli – instead of using ranch seasoning to season the broccoli, double the sauce recipe and toss the cooked broccoli with the other half of extra sauce.
-
- Sweet Chili Chicken – instead of sriracha, use sweet chili sauce! Start with 2 tablespoons and add more to get the sauce to your liking.
-
- Crock pot Honey Sriracha Chicken – instead of cooking your chicken on the stove top, add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker with the sauce and cook on low for 3-4 hours. I would recommend keeping the chicken breasts whole and shredding them later as they’re more likely to overcook if you go ahead and dice them.
Can I use something besides chicken breast?
Yes, chicken thighs work great too and so would ground chicken! You could even do ground turkey and technically ground beef if you wanted. For a vegetarian option, crispy tofu would go amazing!
Can I prep these Honey Sriracha Chicken Ranch and Broccoli bowls in advance?
Absolutely! These bowls come together in a few different parts. So you can cook your chicken, broccoli or rice at any point and keep them stored separate until ready to build your bowls.
What are the best meal prep containers for meal prepping?
We only use glass now and those are what I would recommend! We love these 2 and 3 compartment containers and this 20-piece round set which works great to store 4 meal prep meals in, plus have the others for proteins, sides and sauces.
How to reheat these chicken and broccoli bowls?
To reheat, build your bowls or grab your already assembled bowls, add some water on top of the rice (this prevents it from drying out) and microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Is the honey sriracha sauce spicy?
I have a low heat tolerance and can’t do things too spicy so I purposely made this recipe to have a little kick but definitely not anything I’d consider spicy! You can taste your sauce before adding it to the chicken and adjust the amount of sriracha to your preferences – I.e. start with 1 tsp sriracha and go from there!
Can I double this recipe?
Most definitely! I only used 1 pound of chicken when originally making this recipe for 3 servings. But it’s a super easy one to double (or even triple) to make more.
