Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Base
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 3 cups cooked rice or noodles
Sauce
- 1/2 cup chili sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (use light for a healthier option)
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey (or agave syrup for vegan)
- Juice of 1 lime (freshly squeezed)
- 4 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp oil (for cooking chicken)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Chop the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic cloves thoroughly to infuse flavor evenly.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped chicken and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken pieces are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, and freshly squeezed lime juice until you get a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Combine and Simmer: Reduce the heat on the skillet to low. Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring well to ensure every piece is coated. Let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Serve: Place the cooked rice or noodles into serving bowls. Top generously with the saucy chicken mixture. Garnish with finely chopped green onions for freshness and a pop of color.
Notes
- Use light mayonnaise or vegan mayo for a healthier or plant-based option.
- Adjust honey or agave syrup quantity to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Serve with steamed vegetables for a more balanced meal.
- This recipe can be made gluten-free by using tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
- Leftover chicken mixture tastes great as a sandwich filling or salad topping.
