Method

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the chicken marinade.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours) to let the flavors penetrate.

  3. 3

    Heat a skillet over medium‑high heat; add the marinated chicken and cook until fully cooked through and lightly caramelized, about 8–10 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and set the chicken aside.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken is cooked through with caramelized edges.

  4. 4

    While the chicken cooks, rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear, then cook according to package directions (typically 1 cup rice to 1 ¼ cups water, simmer 12‑15 minutes, then rest 10 minutes).

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Rice is tender after cooking and resting.

  5. 5

    When the rice is done, fluff it and stir in the plain skyr or Greek yogurt, sriracha (or gochujang), salt, and minced garlic until a creamy, spicy mixture forms.

  6. 6

    Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface, spoon a generous portion of the creamy spicy rice onto the center, then top with the cooked chicken and finely sliced green onions (add any extra toppings you like).

  7. 7

    Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly to form a burrito, sealing the edges. Repeat for all ten tortillas.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Tortilla is tightly rolled with filling enclosed.

  8. 8

    Wrap each burrito in parchment paper or foil and place them in a freezer‑safe container or zip‑top bag; freeze until needed.

  9. 9

    To reheat, remove a burrito from the freezer, wrap it in a paper towel, microwave on high for 2 minutes, then crisp the tortilla by air‑frying at 375°F for 6‑8 minutes or pan‑frying until heated through.

  10. 10

    Serve immediately and enjoy a protein‑packed, flavorful meal.
