Looking for a tasty lunch or dinner that you can easily pack in your lunchbox too? This Spicy Sriracha Chicken & Quinoa Bowl will warm you up on feisty winter days. It will provide you with great flavors & energy any time of year though! Adjust the level of spice with more or less Sriracha sauce. Dig in!
I love sauces. All kinds of sauces.
As a matter of fact…I’m deeply passionate about this Sriracha sauce I came up with. You can make this dish in a pinch.
For some reason (I’m not quite sure why) I took great pleasure in photographing cutlery with quinoa, sauce & chicken separately…
Hopefully you can cook up this recipe ASAP. You sure will be glad you did!

Thanks Rosa!! I figured you loved your spice 🙂
Looks fabulous, Marla!! I love the spicy with the quinoa!
Hi Julie! The quinoa is a great balance with all that spicy!
I love this! Sriracha isn’t incorporated into nearly enough recipes. My bf and I have been trying to eat a bit healthier lately in preparation for swimsuit season, so I will definitely be giving this a try!
Bikini season?! Oh dear, yes it is coming up soon huh?! I’m with you Maggie, this is the kind of food to eat to get back into those bikinis!
This dish looks absolutely incredible! I love spicy anything. 😉 Thanks for the link love as well. Have a great week. 🙂
You are sooooo welcome Sharon. Your recipe looks wonderful 🙂
This looks so awesome! Great pictures! Definitely going to give it a try 🙂 Love a good chicken and quinoa bowl.
Thanks so much!! I’m obsessed with quinoa bowls too 🙂
Omg, this looks like the best bowl for dinner! I’m seriously LOVING the flavors!
Thanks Julie! Never can get enough Sriracha 😉
This looks utterly fabulous to me, Marla!!
Thanks so much Brenda!! Hopefully you can try really soon 🙂
This looks so freaking good Marla!! I want t for breakfast right now!
This looks and sounds so yummy! :o)
I’m searching for your Sriracha sauce recipe, but am unable to locate it. Do you have it posted somewhere?
Thanks!
Great for lunch or dinner!
Sriracha is my absolute favorite condiment. Love that sauce. Love these bowls!
This looks amazing!!
Perfect dish. Love the spicy sriracha flavor 🙂
Gorgeous! Love making bowls lately, we’re having farro bowls tonight! Pinned to my Quinoa and Farro board! Thanks Marla!
This is brilliant!! Why don’t I use sriracha as a sauce more often?!
So nice and simple and tasty!
Looks yummy!!!! But does the lime juice go in with the honey???
These are the best flavors, gorgeous bowl!
This is so healthy and gorgeous! Cannot wait to try!
Some of my favorite flavors in this gorgeous bowl! Amazing Marla! 🙂
Thanks girl!!
Do you just garnish with the lime juice or does that go in the sauce or in with the chicken?
Hi! Thanks for the reminder ~ it goes in the sauce. I will change in the recipe 🙂
I also garnished with extra lime juice…I can never get enough lime.
Very good idea! A lot of lime is a GREAT thing indeed 🙂
I made this last night, but subbed in tofu for the bird. It was really good! Got plenty of leftovers.
Ahhhhh. The tofu is so smart for a meatless meal!
This look like the most perfect lunch ever.
Hot damn, this looks good! So my kind of meal! xo
Marla, my hubs is going to love this. We are Sriracha addicts. Making this tomorrow night. YUm
Awesome Kathy! Hope y’all enjoy it 🙂
This was SO yummy. My sons ate the whole batch and immediately demanded more. Thank you for posting this.
Oh yay! I am so happy you were able to try this recipe so quickly & that is was a great hit!! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Thanks Marla for linking to my dish! I love your quinoa bowl, and sriracha is my favourite ingredient!!
I would love to make a veggie version of this with squash, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli…. Great sauce!
A veggie version sounds awesome! Go for it!
Oh my, this is so good! A friend and I had it for lunch today with some steam broccoli added to the bowl. So good and will definitely be eaten regularly at my house.
Yay! So happy you & a pal enjoyed this. I must have some with the broccoli next time ~ perfect idea!
I’m very sensitive to spices but this looks so good! Could I substitute soy sauce and some red pepper flakes for the sriracha?
You can try! Add some fish sauce too to get those flavors in Sriracha.
Do you happen to know the nutritional info for this? I’m doing weight watchers that’s why I’m wondering. I know it has got to be weight watchers friendly. I’m just wondering exactly how many points. Going to make this tonight. Can’t wait!
Hi Kristin, sorry I don’t know the nutritional info.
Wow! That looks like enough hot sauce to choke a horse! This looks delicious though. Think I will use a bit less. Thanks for this delicious looking recipe. I am sick of my own! LOL
Ha! Hopefully not 😉 Lots of folks have enjoyed the ratios here & had no problem. Making adjustments to suit your palate is always a smart thing to do though. Enjoy!
this sounds awesome…. but I’m wondering… I have a little over a pound of shrimp thawing out. what are your thoughts on maybe cutting the recipe in half and using the shrimp instead of chicken?
I WILL try it with chicken some time! It sounds just YUMMY!
The shrimp sounds wonderful!! Go for it 🙂
Thanks for linking to my blog!
Your quinoa bowl looks great, love the honey-sriracha combo, sweet and hot, yum!
Thanks Denise!! Happy to share your blog 🙂
I’m new to using coconut oil – 1/4 cup sounds like a lot?
I have a diabetic son and am watching out for nutrition info. Do you have the nutrition info on this? Especially the carbs, protein, fats and sugars?
Great recipe! I liked a lot, but I wish it had more sauce. I also ended up using less chicken than the recipe called for. My wife could not finish this dish–It was too spicy for her 🙂 I wonder if adding a bit of tomato sauce would make it saucier and maybe some cream could tone it down a bit? Would not be as healthy that’s for sure…
You can try either or both of those options to tone down the spice ~ bet it would be great!
Love these photos and love this chicken! I’ve got to try this, sriracha is the best!
How can I find out the nutritional info for this?
There are online nutrition counters for you to learn more. I do not have any to refer you to though. Good luck!
Made this last night, so amazingly delicious, we both gave it a 10!!
Awesome!!! Just posted this recipe as a top 10 reader’s choice in 2014. So glad you enjoyed it!!
Yum! I made this meal for dinner tonight. Went a little lighter on the Sriracha (after tasting the sauce in the bowl, I was worried it’d be too spicy). But once it cooked down a bit, it was perfect. Great, quick dinner!
Oh yay! So happy you guys enjoyed 🙂
Can I use onions instead of shallots?
Yes, you can. Maybe add a bit more.
This looks scrumptious, i love spicy chicken. Thanks for sharing this.
