Easiest Honey Sriracha Chicken

I am having a moment with this sweet, sticky honey Sriracha chicken! I have to say this was one of the easiest Asian-inspired sauces I’ve made…only 5 ingredients! I had some help from Red Gold’s Tomato Love with Sriracha and am excited to share the recipe with you!

Method and Notes

Tomato Love is Red Gold’s newest line of canned tomato products with a hint of spice from chilies that makes it so much easier to get meals on the dinner table. The added flavor from green or red chilies saves time at the grocery store and in the kitchen plus helps bring more flavor to your food!

For this recipe I used Tomato Love Sriracha with a few pantry staples: honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch. That’s it!

I blended the ingredients in my food processor until smooth and even used some of the sauce as a marinade for my chicken. Then seared the chicken in the same pot as I reduced the sauce to get that sweet, sticky consistency. As Shay would say, “easy peasy lemon squeezy!”

If you don’t have a blender or food processor you can buzz the sauce up with an immersion blender. I used chicken breast tenderloins because they cook up really fast and are the perfect size for our family to eat without having to cut the chicken up into cubes. You can also use chicken thighs for this recipe but the cook time will be longer. If you are using regular chicken breasts I recommend pounding out the breasts so they are about 1/4 inch thick or slicing them in half.

Use one or all of the garnishes listed to really elevate this chicken. I love the crunch factor from the peanuts and the freshness that the scallions bring!
