Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (Pound them slightly if thick for even cooking.)

For the Rice

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown) (Use day-old or pre-cooked rice to save time.)

For the Vegetables

  • 1 cup broccoli florets (Cut into small florets for quick cooking.)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced (Red adds sweetness; green is fine but red is preferred.)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned (Use a peeler to make thin ribbons.)
  • 3 medium green onions, chopped (Save some white parts for cooking.)

For the Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (Use a good-quality mayo for a rich sauce.)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (Adjust to taste for sweetness.)
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (Adjust for spice level.)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (Use low-sodium if watching salt.)
  • to taste salt and pepper (Salt lightly while cooking.)

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons oil (Use vegetable or avocado oil for cooking.)
  • to taste sesame seeds (Toast briefly for a nutty touch.)

Instructions 

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  • Chop the vegetables and measure the sauce ingredients.

Cooking 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 skillet and set aside.

Cooking Vegetables

  • In the same skillet, add broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for about 3–5 minutes, until tender yet crisp.

Making Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and soy sauce until well combined.

Combining

  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables, pour the sauce over everything and stir well to coat evenly.

Assembling

  • In serving bowls, place a layer of cooked rice, then spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Serving

  • Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl while it’s fresh and hot!
