Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place the chopped chicken in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the flour and stir to coat.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and olive oil until combined. Add the panko breadcrumbs to a shallow plate.
- Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs and place on the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake the chicken for 10 minutes, or until crispy.
- Meanwhile, place all the ingredients for the honey-sriracha sauce in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Drizzle the honey-sriracha sauce over the chicken, then bake for 6-8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the cucumber into bite-sized pieces, drizzle with the toasted sesame oil, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
- Divide among 4 meal prep bowls with the cooked jasmine rice and lime wedges.
- Once the chicken is done, allow it to cool, then add it to the meal prep bowls.
💡 Notes & Tips
- Cut the chicken into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, or the chicken won't crisp properly.
- Add the honey sriracha sauce after the chicken has started to crisp.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha depending on how spicy you like your food.
- For a milder sauce, use less sriracha and add a little extra honey.
- Store meal prep bowls in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
- Keep the cucumber separate if you prefer it cold and crisp.
- Reheat the chicken in an air fryer or oven for the best texture.
- Use cauliflower rice instead of jasmine rice for a lower-carb option.
