Spicy Sriracha Chicken & Rice Bowl

This was another amazing Date Night recipe I tried for my husband and I one night. When we decide to eat alone after the kids are in bed we often pick a spicy dish. Well this Spicy Sriracha Chicken and Rice Bowl hit the spot that night! I have to admit I’ve never even had Sriracha before. I’m not sure if it’s the same thing as Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, it seems the same, but who cares it was good! If you like it really spicy feel free to add some more Sriracha to the sauce. If you would prefer it less mild, just add less. I even measured out my portions and made it Beach Body 21 Day Fix approved. I used 1 1/2 Red and 2 yellows for this deliciousness! Honestly I love any dish that is topped with green onion! I’m kind of obsessed with them. Try some of my others dishes that is topped with green onion:

I love that you can be creative with this dish, you can serve it over noodles, quinoa or sauté a bunch of vegetables and skip the added carbs. The next time I make it I’m going to try and add some veggies to it like broccoli or peppers! Don’t skip the onions because I think it made the dish, that’s why I think if you sneak in some other veggies in there it would be even better!
