Oh y’all, do I have a spicy one for ya today. This sriracha lime chicken recipe is becoming more and more famous around these parts (and by ‘these parts’, I mean, our home). This recipe is hands-down, flat-out spicy, but you can tame it down by using less of the sriracha and more of the honey. I personally like it really hot, but I understand how many would prefer a toned-down flame.
This recipe is super simple to make and is fast and on-the-cheap as well. It’s a perfect busy weeknight meal on top of a bed of quinoa (which is the way my family prefers it) or brown rice. We also like a large helping of the green onion and cilantro in the dish, it’s just so yummy. And the limes take it to the next level. Y’all ready to try it yet?

What are the containers and serving size associated with the 21 day fix?
Hi Sarah! Could you please explain what you mean by 21 day fix? I would love to answer your question, I’m just not sure I understand what you are talking about when you speak of the “containers” an the “21 day fix”. Thanks dear!
