Chicken and Vegetables
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 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
Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust for spice level)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Garnish
- Sesame seeds (for garnishing)
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and pepper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and soy sauce until well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the sauce over everything and stir well to coat evenly.
- Prepare the Rice: In serving bowls, place a layer of cooked rice as the base.
- Assemble the Bowls: Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice.
- Garnish: Top each bowl with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an added touch.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl while it’s fresh and hot!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the spice level of the sauce.
- Use brown rice for a healthier option or white rice for a softer texture.
- For added crunch, consider topping with chopped peanuts or crispy fried onions.
- Vegetables can be varied with snap peas, zucchini, or mushrooms based on preference.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
