The Bang Bang Chicken Bowl is a flavorful and quick meal featuring crispy chicken coated in a creamy, spicy sauce, served over rice with fresh vegetables. Perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch or flour for coating
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1–2 tbsp sriracha or other hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey or sugar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth to make the bang bang sauce.
  3. Coat the chicken pieces evenly in cornstarch or flour.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Assemble bowls by layering rice, shredded lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, and chicken.
  6. Drizzle the bang bang sauce generously over the bowl.
  7. Garnish with green onions and cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha in the sauce to control the heat level.
  • Substitute chicken with tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
  • Bake chicken for a lighter option instead of frying.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a tangier, lighter sauce.
