Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (jasmine or long-grain)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1–2 Tbsp sriracha (to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar (or lime juice)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 Tbsp water (slurry, for thickening)
  • 1 cup cucumber, chopped
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (or cabbage)
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook rice (or reheat meal-prep rice) and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, toss cucumber, avocado, red onion, and shredded lettuce with lime juice, cilantro (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic, ginger (if using), and rice vinegar.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring, until cooked through and lightly browned.
  5. Pour the sauce into the skillet. Stir and simmer 1 minute, then add the cornstarch slurry and cook 1–2 minutes until glossy and thick.
  6. Assemble bowls: add rice, top with sweet & spicy chicken, and pile on the avocado cucumber salad.

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha to control spice level.
  • Replace chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Meal prep rice ahead for quicker assembly.
