Bang Bang Chicken Bowl (Print Version)

Juicy chicken pieces, veggies with plenty of crunch, and a creamy, lively bang bang sauce piled over hot rice—quick and satisfying.

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken and Rice

01 - 450 g boneless chicken breast, no skin
02 - 250 g ready rice (any type you like: brown, white, or cauliflower)
03 - 30 ml olive oil
04 - Fresh crack of black pepper, as much as you like
05 - Salt, however much tastes right to you

→ Vegetables

06 - 120 g mixed veggies (think broccoli, bell pepper, carrots), chopped up

→ Bang Bang Sauce

07 - 120 ml mayonnaise
08 - 30 ml sriracha
09 - 15 ml honey
10 - 5 ml lime juice (just squeezed)
11 - 3 g garlic powder

# Steps:

01 - Take the pan off the stove. Smother chicken and veggies with that bang bang sauce. Mix it in so everything’s glossy. Dish it all onto steamy rice. Throw on a dash of extra sriracha or sliced green onion if you’re feeling fancy.
02 - Pop your chopped veggies into the skillet alongside the chicken. Let them cook for just a couple minutes. You want them a little soft but not mushy.
03 - Mix mayo, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice in a bowl till super smooth. Taste it — add more honey or sriracha if you want more sweet or heat.
04 - Get olive oil hot in a large pan over medium-high heat. Drop in the chicken cubes and let them cook for about 6–8 minutes, stirring now and then, until they’re nice and brown and cooked through (inside should hit 74°C).
05 - Cut up the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle over salt and black pepper so every chunk gets covered.
06 - Make some rice however you like—on the stove or with a rice cooker and follow the directions on the pack. Keep it warm afterward.

# Notes:

01 - Poke the chicken with a food thermometer to make sure it gets hot enough—74°C is what you want inside.
02 - Don’t let veggies cook too long—keep them kinda crisp so they’re still nutritious.
03 - Like it spicier? Pour in extra sriracha when making the sauce.
04 - Use cauliflower rice instead to keep things lighter on the carbs.
05 - Try some sesame seeds or fresh green onion slices on top for pop and flavor.
