How to make honey sriracha chicken stir fry
Like all stir fries, this recipe has three important components:
-
- Vegetables- I used bell peppers, red onion and snap peas because I like a good rainbow in my meal prep. But you could use almost any vegetable in this recipe! Bok choy, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and more. Just remember that you might need to adjust the cook time depending on the veggie you pick.
- Protein- I used boneless skinless chicken breast for this recipe because that's what we always have in our freezer. You could swap for boneless skinless chicken thighs, tofu or even shrimp!
- Sauce- this honey sriracha stir fry sauce is super simple and has honey for sweetness, soy sauce for a savory component, garlic and ginger to bring some aromatic flavors, sriracha for the spicy factor, and cornstarch to thicken.
How do you prepare the honey sriracha stir fry sauce?
Simply shake together your ingredients. You can make it ahead and freeze it for up to 3 months! We liked drizzling with extra sriracha to serve.
What protein goes well with the sauce?
This honey sriracha stir fry sauce would actually work really well with a number of different proteins including shrimp, or even tofu, but I like it best with boneless skinless chicken breast.
What vegetables should I use with this sauce?
This stir fry sauce goes well almost any veggie! Root vegetables like carrots go really well with honey, and I found that snap peas were especially tasty with this sauce.
How can I make this recipe vegan/gluten-free/paleo?
- vegan- swap the honey for maple syrup and the chicken for tofu
- gluten-free- swap the soy sauce for coconut aminos
- paleo- swap the sauce sauce for coconut aminos, the corn starch for arrowroot powder and the rice for cauliflower rice

I just discovered your site! I love it. So much information. Very inspiring. I just made Honey Sriracha Chicken stir fry today. It was delicious. I did not change anything to your recipe. It is great as is. I used my Wok to cook it. I already have chicken fajitas assembled and marinating to cook tomorrow. I have printed many of your recipes and can't wait to try many more (lentil soup next). Thanks for your generosity sharing these recipes with so much information.
Erica says
This is not gluten free. Soy sauce contains wheat. Did not try recipe but want to warn others with gluten intolerance or celiac
Annie says
Hi Erica, Some varieties of soy sauce contain wheat, but not all. La-Choy is a readily available gluten-free soy sauce.
Sherry Pinto says
Can this be made up ahead and then frozen for later?
Denise Bustard says
Hi Sherry! Yes, you can freeze this one! I hope you enjoy 🙂
Vitalia Colotl says
I made this for meal prep . Just a quick question and I suppose to eat all 4 servings in one day or ??
Denise says
Hi Vitalia, you eat one lunch per day over four days. The chicken is not safe to eat after day four. Hope you enjoy!
Pattie says
I've made this recipe twice, now, & my son & I love it. I just cooked the rice separately, the way I always do, & served as a bed under the dish.
Denise says
So happy to hear you enjoyed, Pattie! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review 🙂
Penny Barker says
Your recipe does not include the chicken; and does not give instructions for the rice.
