A quick and flavorful Bang Bang Chicken Bowl featuring tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and fluffy rice, all tossed in a creamy, spicy-sweet bang bang sauce. Perfect for beginner cooks and customizable to suit any craving.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (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 the package instructions. A rice cooker can simplify this step.
  2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F).
  4. While the chicken cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice in a small bowl.
  5. Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and sauté for another 2–3 minutes, keeping them slightly crisp.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and pour the sauce over the chicken and veggies, stirring until everything is well coated.
  7. Serve the chicken and veggie mixture over a bed of warm rice. Garnish with green onions or extra sriracha if desired.

Notes

  • Use shrimp or tofu as alternative proteins.
  • Try cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
  • Swap sriracha with sambal oelek or hot sauce for variety.
  • Top with chopped peanuts or sesame seeds for extra crunch.
  • Use frozen vegetables if fresh ones are unavailable; cook them a bit longer.
