Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 1 pound Chicken Breast (substitute with chicken thighs for extra moisture)

For the Vegetables

  • 2 cups Mixed Vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas)

For the Rice

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

For the Bang Bang Sauce

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Cook the rice according to package instructions until fluffy, typically about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil to warm up for cooking the chicken evenly.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breast to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet with the chicken and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
  5. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Stir well until fully blended to create the Bang Bang sauce.
  6. Assemble Your Bowl: Spoon a generous portion of cooked rice into each bowl, top with the chicken and sautéed vegetables, then drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce.
  7. Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Customize with your favorite toppings such as sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, or crunchy peanuts to enhance texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the spice level of the Bang Bang sauce by varying the amount of sriracha to suit your preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat leftovers gently on the stovetop or microwave, ensuring chicken reaches 165°F for safety.
  • Use seasonal vegetables to add variety and freshness to your bowl.
  • Protein alternatives include shrimp or tofu for different dietary preferences.
  • For a creamier sauce, blend in Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • To keep chicken moist, consider brining before cooking or avoid overcooking.
  • Do not feed pets the sauce due to spicy ingredients; plain cooked chicken and vegetables without seasoning can be given cautiously.
