Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp oil (for cooking)
For the Bowl
  • 1 piece diced mango (fresh is best)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 piece diced red onion
  • 1 piece diced bell pepper (any color)
  • 1 piece Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • 1 tsp sriracha (for the spicy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp honey (for the spicy sauce)
  • 1 piece sliced avocado
  • 1 cup warm rice (for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  2. While the chicken marinates, dice the mango, cilantro, red onion, and bell pepper.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, sriracha, and honey for the spicy sauce. Adjust the sriracha to your desired spice level.
Assembly
  1. Once the chicken is done, slice it into strips. In serving bowls, layer warm rice, sliced chicken, diced mango, bell pepper, red onion, and avocado.
  2. Drizzle with lime juice, the spicy sauce, and sprinkle with cilantro.
Serving
  1. Dig in and savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For optimal freshness, keep the chicken and toppings separate until you’re ready to serve. You can reheat the chicken in a skillet or microwave before digging back in. Try using jasmine, basmati, or even cauliflower rice for a lighter version.
