Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Bowl

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
  • 1 cup mixed veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Start by cooking your rice according to the package instructions. Set it aside once ready. Using a rice cooker can simplify this step and ensure perfectly cooked rice.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor and promote even cooking.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 6-8 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
  4. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice. Adjust sriracha or honey to your preferred level of spiciness or sweetness.
  5. Add the Vegetables: Add the mixed veggies to the skillet with the chicken, cooking an additional 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender yet still slightly crisp to maintain texture and nutrients.
  6. Combine and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Serve the Bang Bang chicken mixture over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with extra sriracha or chopped green onions if desired for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check that chicken reaches 165°F to ensure safety.
  • Adjust sauce spice and sweetness according to your taste preferences.
  • Don’t overcook vegetables to keep their crispness and nutrients intact.
  • Cauliflower rice is a great low-carb alternative to traditional rice.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions or extra sriracha for an extra pop of flavor.
