Add a kick to dinner with my one pan honey sriracha chicken and rice! Quick, easy and just the right amount of spicy heat.

Honey Sriracha Chicken and Rice served on a plate.

Are you looking for a new one pan dinner idea?   Look no further!  Try my Honey Sriracha Chicken and Rice!  It is quick and easy to prepare and has that awesome sriracha kick to it.  Don't worry it isn't too spicy hot for kids.  I'm not a big fan of spicy hot foods.  This dish is definitely more at the mild end of the spectrum.  Then again, if you really love hot and spicy food you can always add more sriracha sauce to take it up a notch.

How to make this one pan meal:

  1. In a frying pan over medium high heat, melt the butter until it begins to sizzle.
  2. Add the orzo, rice, and onion. Stir constantly and saute' in the butter until the rice begins to turn golden brown.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth
  4. Turn the heat to medium low and simmer until the rice mixture is cooked through and has absorbed all the chicken broth.
  5. While the rice simmers whisk together all the honey sriracha sauce ingredients.
  6. When the rice is done, turn the heat to low and add the honey sriracha sauce.  Mix well.
  7. Add the chicken, mix well and continue to cook over low heat until the chicken is heated through.
  8. Remove from heat and serve with chives if desired.

Steps to make this one pan recipe.

What does Sriracha taste like?

Sriracha flavor varies a bit brand to brand, but in general it has a tangy, sweet garlic taste that is spicy.  I've heard it described as a sweet chili sauce as well.  There seems to be quite a bit of debate among heat enthusiasts as to how the sriracha's spicy heat compares to Tabasco, Chipotle and other hot sauces.  So where it ranks for you on the spicy heat meter probably depends on your personal taste.

    We loved this recipe. You are correct, it is the perfect amount
    of spice. I did add broccoli at the end with the chicken.
    Love it!
