You guys know I am all about creating healthy, easy to make recipes with you guys and you also might like this Eggplant Parmesan, Zucchini Ravioli, Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Soup and Mushroom Cauliflower Rice Risotto. All of these would be even more yummy with some Spiked Apple Cider or Slow Cooker Mulled Wine!

Why You Should Make This Spicy Honey Lime Chicken

I was very excited to have the opportunity to try Terra's Kitchen, which is a healthy meal delivery service that offers seasonal, fresh ingredients that are alreadyprepped for you to start cooking. I have seen advertisem*nts for companies like this and now was my chance to test it out.

So ok, full disclosure, I was a little skeptical.

I mean, I cook ALL. THE. TIME.

So why would I need this delivery service? I can do this. I've only cooked about 146,963,826 times before, right?

My climate-controlled vessel came loaded with all of my pre-portioned and pre-chopped ingredients organized by each meal. At the very bottom were my recipe cards including all of the ingredients and full instructions.

Ok, I have to admit, I loved how organized everything was. A healthy, delicious meal in 30 minutes or less? I was very intrigued.

I loved how everything was clearly labeled. This was foolproof. Even those that have never cooked before could do this.

I loved all of the detail on each item and I was really excited to read that the chicken was free-range and non-GMO!

I also love that the instructions were clear and easy to follow.

Recipe Ingredients

Pin

• Jasmine rice - Jasmine rice is a long grain rice very much like white rice. You can also use brown rice if you'd like some more nutrients and fiber. It will taste just as delicious.
• Extra virgin olive oil - My absolute favorite and I use it in most of my recipes.
• Chicken - I like to use organic chicken tenders for its quality and better taste.
• Lime - This adds a wonderful citrus flair to this spicy dish.
• Edamame - These are soybeans straight from the pods and are loaded with plant based protein.
• Scallions - Also known as green onions, these have a milder taste than regular onions.
• Cilantro- This is one of those things that you either love or hate. Some of those that hate cilantro think it actually tastes like soap!
• Soy sauce - Or you can use liquid aminos for a soy free option.
• Honey - I like to use raw honey because it is the least processed and contains the most nutrients and antioxidants.
• Sriracha - I love sriracha so much. You can easily use regular hot sauce or if you do not want it spicy you can omit it completely.

Recipe Tips

This is dish is completely customizable and you can make it any way you'd like it. If you don't like spicy, omit the sriracha. It you don't like it too sweet, cut back or omit the honey.

Brown rice can easily be substitutes for the jasmine rice if you'd like. Brown rice contains more protein, fiber and vitamins and is less processed.

If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, I like using these meal prep containers that make storage so easy. Simply store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
