20 minute Sweet and Spicy Chicken

I'm a sucker for chicken, and even more so for quick and easy meals. This dish is a happy marriage of both. We came home late one night and were super hungry. There was leftover pizza but not enough to fill both of our stomachs. I scrounged the internet and my fridge and came up with the simple, delicious recipe. Here's what you'll need:


  • 4 chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 Red Pepper, diced
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh ginger root
  • 2 tsp pressed garlic
  • 3 Tbsp Sriracha 
  • 1 Thai chilli pepper, chopped
  • Flour for coating chicken
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying chicken
  Combine honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, Sriracha and Thai chilli pepper in a bowl. Mix well. 

Cook red pepper until tender, remove from pan. Dredge chicken in flour until lightly coated.

Heat oil in pan and add diced chicken. Cook until brown on both sides and cooked through. Add peppers back into pan until heated through. Pour sauce over chicken and sautee for about 8 minutes, or until sauce is thickened. 

That's it! Serve over rice and enjoy! The ginger and Thai chilli pepper give this dish a nice spice, but the honey and brown sugar keeps it sweet. If you try this out let me know what you think!
