Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pour chicken broth into a medium pot and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, add jasmine rice, stir briefly, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  2. In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breast strips with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add chicken strips to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce. Whisk until smooth and well-blended. Set aside.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the creamy spicy sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir gently to coat the chicken and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Scoop jasmine rice onto a serving platter and arrange the coated chicken on top. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
