Description

A fun and flavorful dish combining tender chicken with a spicy mayo sauce, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
  • 1 cup mixed veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions.
  2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, mix together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl: mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice. Taste and adjust sriracha for spiciness or honey for sweetness.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, toss in the mixed veggies and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat, pour the sauce over the chicken and veggies, stirring to coat everything evenly.
  7. Serve your Bang Bang Chicken over a mound of rice and garnish with extra sriracha or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

To store leftovers, let the Bang Bang Chicken cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Adjust the amount of sriracha for desired spiciness.
