Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Base

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust for spice level)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Garnish

  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for about 3–5 minutes, until they are tender yet crisp.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and soy sauce until well combined.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the sauce over everything and stir well to coat evenly.
  6. Prepare the Rice: In serving bowls, place a layer of cooked rice as the base.
  7. Assemble the Bowls: Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice.
  8. Garnish: Top each bowl with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an added touch.
  9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl while it’s fresh and hot!

Notes

  • Adjust Sriracha to control the spiciness of the dish.
  • Use brown rice for a healthier option and added fiber.
  • Ensure vegetables stay crisp by not overcooking during sautéing.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken briefly in a little soy sauce and pepper before cooking.
  • Sesame seeds can be toasted for enhanced nuttiness.
