Bang Bang Chicken Bowl (Print Version)

Tender chicken and crisp vegetables tossed in a creamy, spicy-sweet sauce, served over perfectly cooked rice.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
02 - 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
03 - 1 cup mixed veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ For the Sauce

06 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
07 - 2 tablespoons sriracha
08 - 1 tablespoon honey
09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 1 teaspoon lime juice

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Prepare the rice by following the package instructions. Set aside once cooked. Use a rice cooker if available for consistent results.
02 - Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor. Cutting the chicken into smaller pieces ensures quick and even cooking.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to confirm chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
04 - Combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more sriracha for spice or honey for sweetness.
05 - Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet with the cooked chicken and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still crisp to preserve texture and nutrients.
06 - Remove the skillet from heat and pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat evenly. Serve over a bed of rice and garnish with additional sriracha or chopped green onions as desired.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
02 - Adjust the sriracha in the sauce to your preferred spice level.
03 - Avoid overcooking the vegetables to retain their texture and nutritional value.
04 - Substitute cauliflower rice for a low-carb option if desired.
05 - Garnish the dish with green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor.
