This quick and easy Hoisin Honey Chicken with Rice recipe is a great weeknight meal that the whole family will love.
Hoisin Honey Chicken with Rice is one of those recipes that are in our regular rotation of dinners because it is quick and easy while also being full of flavor. This recipe is one of my husband’s favorite dinners. If I ask him what he wants for dinner he will always say Hoisin Honey Chicken.
I usually pair Hoisin Honey Chicken with Rice with green beans sautéd with garlic and onions, but roasted broccoli would also be a great choice. Instead of rice, this recipe could be served over riced cauliflower, riced veggies, or quinoa.
If you are looking for other easy, family-friendly dinners this Chicken Hungarian Goulash is a great choice and so are these Mediterranean Wraps.
Hoisin Honey Chicken with Rice
In a small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, honey, water, and sriracha (to taste) – set aside. Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan and cook, stirring occasionally until browned (about 5-7 minutes per side).
Add scallions (white part) and ginger to the pan and cook for a couple of minutes. Then add the sauce to the pan and cook until the sauce has thickened about 5 minutes.
Serve chicken over cooked rice and garnished with sesame seeds and scallions (green part).
