Description

A delicious and satisfying meal combining juicy chicken, vibrant vegetables, and creamy Bang Bang sauce.


Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds total)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber (julienned)
  • 1 cup edamame (shelled)
  • 1/4 cup green onions (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and olive oil, ensuring an even coating. Place the seasoned chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes. Then, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Prepare the Bang Bang sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, minced garlic, and lime juice. Adjust the consistency with a splash of water if needed.
  6. Toss the diced chicken with half of the prepared Bang Bang sauce to coat it well.
  7. Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked rice among four bowls, then top each with Bang Bang chicken, shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, shelled edamame, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
  8. Drizzle the remaining Bang Bang sauce over each bowl, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
