  • 2 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, and Sriracha to create the bang bang sauce.
  4. Toss the cooked chicken with half of the sauce until well-coated.
  5. Layer cooked white rice in serving bowls, top with mixed vegetables, and add the sauced chicken.
  6. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top before serving.
