Ingredients
- Chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Cornstarch or flour (for coating)
- Vegetable oil (for frying or sautéing)
- Mayonnaise
- Sweet chili sauce
- Sriracha or another hot sauce
- Cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
- Cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
- Carrots, shredded or julienned
- Green onions, chopped
- Cilantro (optional)
- Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Coat the chicken pieces lightly with cornstarch or flour to create a crispy exterior when cooked.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha to make the Bang Bang sauce. Adjust the heat by adding more or less sriracha depending on your spice preference.
- Toss the cooked chicken in the Bang Bang sauce until well coated.
- Assemble the bowls by placing a base of rice, then topping with the saucy chicken, cucumbers, carrots, green onions, and cilantro if using.
- Serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of freshness.
Notes
- For a healthier option, bake the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- To make it vegan, substitute chicken with tofu and use vegan mayonnaise.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat chicken and rice separately to keep chicken crispy.
- Try swapping rice for cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
- Add avocado or edamame for extra creaminess and protein.
- If sweet chili sauce is unavailable, mix honey or maple syrup with chili garlic sauce as a substitute.
