Sriracha Garlic Chicken
Ingredients
- Nonstick aluminum foil
- 2 lemons, for juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic sriracha seasoning, divided
- 1 tablespoon garlic blend paste
- Large zip-top bag
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ bunch fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped

Combine 1 teaspoon sriracha seasoning, garlic paste, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in zip-top bag; add chicken (wash hands). Knead bag to coat chicken; let stand 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour) to marinate. Slice onion; chop cilantro (¼ cup).
- Whisk in a medium bowl: remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and honey until blended. Add onions and carrots; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes to marinate, stirring occasionally, or until carrots are tender.
- Place chicken on baking sheet (discard marinade); bake 15–18 minutes and until chicken is 165°F. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Toss cilantro and remaining ½ teaspoon sriracha seasoning into carrot mixture. Top chicken with carrot mixture. Serve.

- Marinating with acid (like lemon juice) will penetrate proteins faster than dry seasoning blends alone. We do not suggest marinating the chicken breast overnight in this recipe.
