Spicy Sriracha Chicken & Quinoa Bowl
It took me a while to find a good way to cook quinoa. This is pretty good if you make it right and follow the directions.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
1 cup dry Quinoa, cook according to package directions
1/4 cup Virgin Coconut Oil
2 pounds Chicken Breast, trim into bite sized pieces
2 Shallots, diced
1/2 cup Sriracha (you can adjust more or less)
1/4 cup Honey
1 tablespoon Lime Juice
Black Pepper
Garlic Salt
1/2 cup Green Onion, chopped
Fresh Cilantro
Method
Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork & set aside.
Melt coconut oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Sauté shallots a few minutes until softened. Add chicken & cook until browned on each side, flipping a few times with tongs. Whisk together honey, lime juice & Sriracha sauce in a bowl.
Add the sauce & simmer uncovered for about 8 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Stirring often. Sauce will thicken a bit as it cooks. Season to taste with pepper & garlic salt.
Finish with a handful of fresh cilantro and green onion. Serve over quinoa.

AnonThis looks awesome! A nice way to "fancy" up my saturday meals - I typically eat all of my fridge leftovers on Saturdays before I grocery shop & meal prep on Sundays. It usually works out to being bowls of spinach, chicken, rice and salsa. I'm going to have to try this one instead.
Its very good and I hope you enjoy it.
