WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Honey Sriracha Chicken
This simple protein-packed chicken dish combines honey, Sriracha chili sauce, chopped onion and a few spices—and then let your slow cooker do all the hard work.
Not quite sweet and not quite spicy, there’s a nicely balance sweet-spicy flavor that works well as low carb lettuce wraps, over low carb cauliflower rice—or as we enjoyed it—over warm quinoa.

It was a hit. Love the hot and sweet together. Served it over cauliflower rice. Will definitely add this recipe to our favorites collection.
So glad you liked it!! ~Martha
Martha, I made the Honey Sriracha Chicken yesterday. It was delicious, but evidently my new bottle of sriracha was so hot. I served the dish over rice which toned down the heat. I’ll make it again because it was so flavorful and easy.
