# How to Make It:

Prepare rice according to package instructions. Set aside when done. A rice cooker can help achieve consistent results.

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor and ensure even cooking.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
04 -
Combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust sriracha and honey to achieve the desired balance of heat and sweetness.
05 -
Add mixed vegetables to the cooked chicken in the skillet. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Remove skillet from heat. Pour sauce over chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Serve over rice and garnish with optional toppings such as extra sriracha or chopped green onions.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use a meat thermometer to confirm chicken is fully cooked. Do not overcook vegetables to maintain texture and nutrients. Cauliflower rice is a suitable low-carb alternative.
