Quick Sriracha Chicken – a perfect meal for those who like the heat and on the table in less than 30 minutes.

Sriracha is one of those ingredients you either love or hate and if you are not a lover of spicy food you are really not going to like Sriracha. Sriracha is basically a hot red chilli sauce and it packs a nice punch of heat.

Here on this side of the Atlantic, we are pretty obsessed with it. Sriracha is used almost as commonly used as ketchup.

I’ve been known to drizzle Sriracha over some perfectly cooked eggs in the morning, be them fried or scrambled, it’s really delicious and one to try if you haven’t already.

Today was a hectic day, my daughter had a play date which involved lots of crafting, cupcake making, sprinkles all over the kitchen floor, and dancing and singing along with Just Dance.

Yes, that was mummy included. Think of the body magic.

By the time the play date was over and I got the kitchen cleared, it was time for a well-deserved cuppa while I put my feet up and then before I knew it dinner time was fast approaching and my plans for making Paprika Chicken with Roasted Butternut Squash and Linguine, went out the window.

Instead, I figured a super quick wok type dish would be perfect. So, put some jasmine rice on to cook and grabbed the bag of stir fry mix from the fridge for some speed food to add to the side.

Next was deciding what sauce to go with the protein. That was when I spotted the Sriracha while rooting in my pantry cupboard for inspiration.

Usually, just a teeny drizzle of Sriracha packs enough heat for me, so for a sauce, I wanted to mellow it down ever so slightly. A little soy sauce, honey and water were perfect.

A good non-stick wok or frying pan is a must for this kind of dish, one like this Master Class Professional Non-Stick Carbon Steel Wok.

It was super quick to make and all on the table and in less than 20 minutes. Who doesn’t love a super quick meal like that?

If making this Sriracha Chicken on an SP or Original day, try serving with some of this delicious Roasted Cauliflower Rice or a similar speed food side like some spiralized vegetables in place of some noodles. I like to spiralize vegetables with my handy table top vegetable spiralizer like this tri blade one below:

A couple of my favourite vegetables to spiralize for replacing noodles in a dish like this is rutabaga (swede) or butternut squash. Once spiralized, you only need to saute in a pan for a few minutes with some seasonings of choice (salt and black pepper are a must) and a little spray oil.

If you are gluten free, use Tamari Soy Sauce.  There is also Coconut Aminos, which is suitable for those who are gluten and soy free, it’s slightly sweeter in taste, but a great soy sauce replacement.

Push every taste bud to the limit and give this Sriracha Chicken a try for dinner tonight.
