Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Grains

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)

Oils and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha

Flavorings

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Cook the rice following the package instructions for your chosen type (white, brown, or cauliflower rice) and set it aside, keeping it warm.
  2. Season the Chicken: Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season them evenly with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor before cooking.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: While chicken cooks, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon lime juice in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly and adjust the sriracha amount if you prefer a milder or spicier sauce.
  5. Cook the Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots) to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir-fry everything together for 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet retain a crisp bite.
  6. Combine and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat, pour the prepared bang bang sauce over the chicken and vegetables, and stir to coat them evenly. Serve the saucy chicken and veggies over the cooked rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breast with chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb or paleo option.
  • Adjust the sriracha quantity according to your preferred spice level.
  • Leftover bowls keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Add chopped green onions or cilantro for extra freshness and garnish.
