Wash and dry all produce. Trim, then thinly slice @scallions{2%unit}, separating greens and whites.

Melt @butter{1%tbsp} in a #small pot{} over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and cook until just softened ~{2%minutes}. Add @jasmine rice{1%cup}, 1¾ cups water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat, and reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until tender ~{15%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Halve, core, and seed @bell pepper{1%unit}, then cut into thin strips. Cut one @lime{2%unit} in half and the other into quarters. Mince or grate @garlic{2%cloves}. In a #small bowl{}, mix @soy sauce{2%tbsp}, @honey{1%tbsp}, garlic, juice from one lime half, and half the @sriracha{1%packet}.

Heat a drizzle of @vegetable oil{2%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and cook, tossing, until tender ~{5%minutes}. Remove from pan and set aside. Pat @chicken breast strips{12%oz} dry with a paper towel. Season all over with salt and pepper. Heat another drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and nearly cooked through ~{5%minutes}.

Pour soy sauce mixture into pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let cook until chicken is cooked through and coated in a sticky, thick sauce ~{3%minutes}. Stir in bell peppers. Remove pan from heat, then stir in @sesame oil{1%tsp} and remaining @butter{1%tbsp}. Season with salt and pepper.

Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in a squeeze of lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Divide between plates and top with chicken stir-fry. Sprinkle with @sesame seeds{1%tsp} and scallion greens. Serve with lime quarters for squeezing over. Drizzle with remaining sriracha, to taste.
