Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 1 pound Chicken Breast

For the Vegetables

  • 2 cups Mixed Vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, or seasonal favorites)

For the Rice

  • 2 cups Rice (white, quinoa, or brown rice as preferred)

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions, typically taking about 15-20 minutes until fluffy and tender.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of cooking oil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breast to the heated skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet with the chicken and sauté together for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Stir well to create a creamy, spicy bang bang sauce.
  6. Assemble Your Bowl: In serving bowls, layer cooked rice as the base, top with the cooked chicken and vegetables, then drizzle generously with the bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for juicier meat if preferred.
  • Try using quinoa or brown rice instead of white rice for added fiber and nutrients.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha in the sauce to control the spice level to your liking.
  • Use seasonal vegetables for variety and freshness.
  • The dish can be made gluten free by ensuring the sweet chili sauce is gluten free.
