Description

A quick and flavorful bowl combining spicy-sweet bang bang sauce, crisp vegetables, and tender chicken served over rice.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust for spice level)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons oil (for cooking)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnishing)


Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for about 3–5 minutes, until tender yet crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and soy sauce until smooth.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, pour sauce over everything, and stir to coat. Warm through for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Spoon cooked rice into serving bowls as the base.
  7. Spoon chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice.
  8. Top with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter sauce, use Greek yogurt or light mayo. Swap chicken breasts for thighs. Use tamari for gluten-free.
