15 minute dinner for busy evenings
Everyone needs a quick, weeknight dinner recipe in their back pocket. I whip this one out a lot! It’s super fast, super easy, and super delicious!
Honey Sriracha Sauce is LIQUID GOLD
Let me tell you friends, this sauce is incredible. With honey, sriracha, garlic, and lime – it’s a little sweet, a little spicy, a little tangy, and a whole lot of YUM! It simmers down just a bit to become a little syrupy and it just clings to the chicken. Plus, there’s enough sauce to sprinkle over rice or mop up with some crusty bread.
Add this to your arsenal of chicken breast recipes
I used chicken breasts in this recipe, because they cook up so fast. Definitely a plus on busy evenings! You can also make it with boneless chicken thighs if you prefer. If your chicken breasts are on the larger side, cut them in half horizontally to make thinner fillets. Mine were on the smaller side so I just hit them a bit with a kitchen mallet to even them out. I’ve dredged these breasts in flour before cooking. It’s totally optional, but I like the crispy coating it gives to the chicken and how it keeps the breasts juicy. Plus the sauce just clings to every nook and cranny!

- Salt and pepper the chicken, then dredge in flour.
