Description
Bang Bang Chicken Bowl is a deliciously spicy dish featuring crispy chicken served over jasmine rice with fresh vegetables and a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced cucumbers
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture until well coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom. Once hot, add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- To assemble the bowls, start with a base of jasmine rice, then add a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by the cooked chicken. Drizzle the sauce over the top.
- Top with diced cucumbers, shredded carrots, sliced green onions, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute grilled chicken for the fried chicken and use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
- Add your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers or avocado for extra flavor and nutrition.
