Description
A delicious and crispy Bang Bang Chicken Bowl served over jasmine rice with fresh vegetables and a spicy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced cucumbers
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the buttermilk, then coat with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Roll the coated chicken pieces in panko breadcrumbs until fully covered.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom. Once hot, add the chicken in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth.
- To assemble the bowls, start with a base of jasmine rice, then top with crispy chicken, shredded lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and green onions. Drizzle with the bang bang sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a healthier option, bake the chicken instead of frying. Preheat the oven to 400°F, place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Add additional toppings like avocado, corn, or shredded carrots for more flavor and texture.
