How to Make Honey Sriracha Chicken Meal Prep Bowls Recipe

Step 1: Prep and Coat the Chicken

Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit—it’s important for getting that crisp on the chicken. Crack the eggs into one bowl and place the flour in another. Dunk each piece of diced chicken into the egg, then coat it thoroughly in flour, shaking off the excess. This step is essential for creating a light, crunchy exterior that holds onto the sauce so well.

Step 2: Bake Chicken and Prepare Rice

Grease a non-stick baking sheet with a bit of olive oil, and spread the chicken pieces evenly, leaving some space for the broccoli later. Bake the chicken for 10 minutes while you cook your jasmine rice according to package directions or in a rice cooker. The rice should be fluffy and ready by the time your chicken gets its first round of baking. Don’t forget to chop the broccoli into small florets for roasting.

Step 3: Flip Chicken, Add Broccoli, and Continue Baking

After the first 10 minutes, pull out the chicken and flip each piece to allow even cooking. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil and salt, then arrange them on the baking sheet beside the chicken. This method lets the chicken finish cooking while the broccoli roasts to tender-crisp perfection. Place the tray back in the oven for another 10 minutes.

Step 4: Whip Up the Honey Sriracha Sauce

While the chicken and broccoli are cooking, combine ketchup, honey, Sriracha, and salt in a microwave-safe dish. Heat the mixture for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly. This sticky, spicy-sweet sauce is what brings the whole Honey Sriracha Chicken Meal Prep Bowls Recipe together with an irresistible punch of flavor.

Step 5: Coat Chicken and Assemble Meal Prep Bowls

Once the chicken and broccoli are out of the oven, toss the chicken pieces in the warm Honey Sriracha sauce ensuring every bite is fully coated. Then layer your meal prep bowls with a base of jasmine rice, arrange the sauced chicken, and roasted broccoli on top. Garnish with optional sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a beautiful, tasty finish.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

These bowls hold up wonderfully in the fridge for up to 4 days. Store the chicken, broccoli, and rice together in an airtight container to keep the chicken juicy and the vegetables crisp yet tender. Just keep garnishes separate and add fresh before serving for the best texture.

Freezing

You can freeze portions of the Honey Sriracha Chicken Meal Prep Bowls Recipe, but keep in mind that broccoli texture may soften a bit after thawing. Freeze the components separately if you want to preserve texture or freeze complete bowls and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Reheating

For perfect reheats, microwave the meal prep bowl covered for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through to heat evenly. If reheated properly, you’ll still get that lovely sticky sauce coating the chicken and tender broccoli with no sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Absolutely! Chicken thighs will add an extra layer of juiciness and flavor. Just dice them similarly and adjust cooking time if needed to ensure they’re cooked through.

How spicy is this Honey Sriracha Chicken?

The heat level is moderate thanks to the Sriracha paired with honey’s sweetness, creating a balanced spicy-sweet taste. You can always adjust the amount of Sriracha to suit your spice preference.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

The recipe as written uses regular flour, but you can substitute with a gluten-free flour blend to make it safe for gluten-free diets without sacrificing texture.

Can I prep this dish for the whole week?

Yes, it’s perfect for meal prep! It keeps well in the fridge for several days and tastes great reheated. Just add fresh garnishes to maintain that vibrant taste.

What other vegetables could I add?

Snap peas, bell peppers, or carrots would all be fantastic roasted or steamed alongside the broccoli. Pick veggies that hold up well to roasting for best results.
