How to make honey sriracha chicken stir fry

Like all stir fries, this recipe has three important components:

1. 1. 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.
   2. 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!
   3. 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
