Well if there’s anything that can brighten up these gray days here in Minnesota, these bowls would be it!

They have the whole shebang..savory-sweet-spicy-tangy-creamy-crisp-crunchy yum!!! A definite repeat offender around here!

Honey Sriracha Chicken Bowls

Adapted from this recipe

Note: for less heat, use 1 Tablespoon Sriracha. For more, use 2. 1 Tablespoon was mild enough for my kiddos to eat…2 would be perfect for my husband and I. Also, you can grill the chicken using the exact same method..but the broiler works great in the winter months.

Ingredients

For the Slaw

1/2 Cup Sour Cream

1/2 Cup Mayonnaise

2 Teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar

1/2 Teaspoon Kosher or Sea Salt

Pinch of Black Pepper

12 Cups Packaged Slaw Mix

For the Chicken

3 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar

1-2 Tablespoons Sriracha, see note

2 Tablespoons Honey

1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard

2 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

1 Teaspoon Onion Powder

1 Teaspoon Salt

1/2 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika

Diced Avocado, for topping

Sunflower Seeds, for topping

Cilantro, for garnish

Directions

For the Slaw

Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add slaw mix and stir to coat well. Set aside or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

For the Chicken

Preheat broiler. In a small bowl whisk together the rice vinegar, Sriracha, honey and Dijon. Set aside.

Cut the chicken into 1-2 inch pieces and place in a bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and smoked paprika; toss well to coat. Thread the chicken on skewers and place the skewers on a broiler safe baking sheet. Brush both sides of the skewers with a generous coating of the Sriracha sauce. Place in the oven and broil for five minutes. Brush both sides with more sauce and flip the skewers over and broil for an additional five minutes or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through; basting with more sauce as needed. Remove the chicken from the skewers and place back in the pan, tossing the chicken in the cooking juices/sauce.

To assemble:

Divide slaw among bowls and top with chicken, avocado, sunflower seeds and cilantro. Serves 4-6
