Cooking Steps

Cook the rice according to package instructions, typically 15-20 minutes for sticky rice.
Chop broccoli into small florets and steam or sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.
Slice chicken breasts into strips and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, and oregano.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
If needed, sauté broccoli in the skillet with chicken drippings for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Whisk together sticky sauce ingredients in a separate bowl, then pour over chicken in the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Sriracha, and water until smooth to create spicy mayo.
