Honey Apricot Sriracha Chicken

This is a perfect transition dish for the changing seasons, holding on strong to the idea of summer and making something comforting for a quick weeknight meal. This dish definitely packs a Sriracha kick and anytime we get to add cilantro to our fix family dishes we are happy campers.
