Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly spray a baking pan with nonstick spray- I use a 10-inch casserole dish. Anything around this size works.
- Combine the water, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, garlic, crushed red pepper, Sriracha, and salt together in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer while whisking occasionally. Allow to simmer for 3 minutes. It will begin to rapidly thicken. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- Arrange chicken in the prepared baking pan. Spread sauce on top, then turn the chicken over to make sure every inch is coated in the sauce.
- Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked through. For extra color, I switch the oven to broil for the last few minutes. That is optional.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onion on top and serve the chicken with sauce from the pan. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

RICE NOODLE BOWLS WITH SWEET CHILI CHICKEN
One of my favorite Vietnamese dishes is bun thịt nuong, which consists of cold or room temperature rice vermicelli topped with grilled pork and pickled and fresh vegetables. When I can't get to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, I make this easy and tasty riff at home. It's layered with incredible flavor, which comes from sweet and tangy stir-fried chicken, aromatic basil and the best-ever quick pickles. Don't have the rice noodles? Swap in your favorite grain, pasta or spiralized vegetable.

SWEET CHILI CHICKEN WITH RICE
This is a super simple meal that has wonderful flavour and can either be made for a main meal or as a light meal depending on the amount of rice cooked. As we are trying not to eat too many carbs at the moment and this was for a main meal I served ours with less rice and some sauced bok choy which paired really well. As you can only buy lemon grass in such large quantities here I have found a brand that is already made into a paste. I used to always use fresh but ended up throwing half of it away before I could use it, so I asked at my local Asian grocery store once what she had and she told me about the paste. It tastes just as good but to me it is more concentrated than fresh so I used 1 Teaspoon in this recipe, I would use 1 Tablespoon if using fresh.
