Description
A cozy bowl featuring tender diced chicken in a spicy-sweet bang-bang sauce, served over rice and fresh greens for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 2 cups fresh greens (like spinach or romaine)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Make the zesty bang-bang sauce by combining mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger powder in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
- Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with oil or butter. Cook the chicken in a single layer for 2–3 minutes, then stir and continue cooking until golden and cooked through (6–8 minutes total).
- Toss the cooked chicken with the bang-bang sauce until well coated.
- Assemble bowls by dividing rice, adding greens, and topping with the sauced chicken.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For a milder version, reduce sriracha to 1/2 teaspoon. You can store sauce in advance for up to 3 days.
