Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 pound Chicken Breast
  • 2 cups Mixed Vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, or seasonal favorites)

Grains

  • 2 cups Rice (white, or substitute with quinoa or brown rice for more fiber)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Gather all ingredients and rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch before cooking.
  2. Prepare the Rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions, which generally takes about 15-20 minutes until fluffy and tender.
  3. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a small splash of oil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breast into the heated skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is fully cooked through, golden brown on the outside.
  5. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet with the chicken and sauté together for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Stir well until smooth and creamy, adjusting sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  7. Assemble Your Bowl: Plate a serving of rice, top with the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables, and generously drizzle the bang bang sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

  • For more moisture and richer flavor, substitute chicken thighs for chicken breast.
  • Use quinoa or brown rice instead of white rice for added fiber and nutrients.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your desired spice level.
  • Leftover rice and chicken bowls can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • Adding chopped green onions or cilantro can enhance freshness and flavor.
