INTRODUCTION

Sriracha Mayo Chicken is a quick, bold dish inspired by fusion cuisine and Asian flavors. It combines the spiciness of the iconic, puréed chili sauce (Sriracha) with the creamy, velvety mildness of mayonnaise. By scoring the chicken breast in a characteristic grid, the aromatic seasonings and spicy-creamy sauce deeply penetrate the meat during frying, helping it stay exceptionally juicy and tender. Served over fluffy basmati rice alongside crispy, fresh cucumber and green chives, it makes a perfectly balanced, nutritious, and modern meal—ideal for a quick lunch.

Cook the basmati rice according to the instructions given on the packaging.

Score the chicken breasts on one side crosswise and lengthwise (creating a grid). Then thoroughly rub the entire meat with the seasonings: sweet paprika, granulated garlic, herbs de Provence, and salt.

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce thoroughly into a smooth, pink-orange mixture.

Heat the olive oil in a pan. Sauté the meat on both sides for about 10–15 minutes (the time depends on the thickness of the chicken pieces). Toward the end of cooking, spread the top of the meat (from the scored side) with the prepared sriracha-mayo sauce and sauté for about another 2–3 minutes, without turning the meat anymore. Tip: You can leave a bit of plain sauce to drizzle over the dish at the end.

Place a portion of cooked rice on plates, add the fried chicken, and top with fresh cucumber cut into cubes or slices. Finish by generously sprinkling with chopped chives.

Tips

💡 If you have leftover sauce, you can also drizzle it over the rice or vegetables.
