Dinner Improv

I had some of the ingredients for about five different recipes but no complete recipes so I did a little improvising with dinner tonight.

I made the chicken and sauce from the Sriracha Chicken Lettuce Wraps and made some plain ol' white rice. The result? Chicken Sriracha Bowls.

This batch of chicken came out extra spicy. I think I was a little too heavy handed on the sriracha in the marinade and/or sauce. Lime juice would be an easy fix to tone down the heat, if I had some. Ideally I would have thrown veggies in with this. I didn't have any fresh and the frozen veggies I had would have taken more effort and another dish to wash since I haven't gotten around to getting a microwave yet.

I think I'm going to go to the store tomorrow for some fresh produce so I can make my Mom's Fried Rice tomorrow or Thursday for dinner.

Tip: If you make this chicken with the intent of having leftovers I'd recommend not breading all the chicken pieces. When you refrigerate breaded things they tend to get soggy. Instead take the chicken our of the marinade and just place it on a cookie sheet (as pictured in the original recipe's post) and bake.
