Equipment

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • Rice cooker

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts ensure they're fresh for the best flavor and tenderness

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • ½ cup Mayonnaise adds creaminess to balance the heat
  • ¼ cup Sweet chili sauce brings a delightful sweetness
  • 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha adjust according to your spice preference

For the Rice

  • 1 cup Jasmine or brown rice choose jasmine for a fragrant taste or brown for added fiber

For the Veggies

  • 1 piece Cucumber adds crunch and freshness
  • 2 pieces Carrots julienne them for a pop of color
  • 1 piece Bell pepper pick your favorite color for a fun twist
  • 2 pieces Green onions use the green parts for garnish

For the Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds for a nutty taste
  • ¼ cup Chopped cilantro enhances the dish with freshness
  • ¼ cup Crushed peanuts add a delightful crunch

Instructions

Directions

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Allow to rest before slicing.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Stir until smooth to create the Bang Bang sauce.
  • Prepare the rice according to package instructions, cooking it in chicken broth instead of water for extra flavor.
  • Chop the vegetables while the rice is cooking. Julienne the carrots and slice the cucumbers.
  • Start assembling the bowl with a scoop of rice, layer with sliced chicken, and drizzle with Bang Bang sauce. Add the fresh vegetables.
  • Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, cilantro, and crushed peanuts.

Notes

Let the chicken rest after cooking to retain its juices. Chop veggies right before serving for freshness.
