How to Make Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken and Broccoli

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3–4 minutes until bright green and just tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add ground chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until fully browned (about 5–6 minutes).
Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken, stir to coat, and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
Toss broccoli back in, stir everything together, and cook another minute to heat through.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve hot over rice or noodles!

Tips for Success

Cook broccoli separately first to keep it crisp-tender and vibrant.
Simmer the sauce for a minute or two to get it sticky and glossy.
Taste as you go — you can always add a little more honey or sriracha depending on your flavor preference.
Double the sauce if you love it extra saucy (trust me, it’s worth it).

Storage & Reheating

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
