Instructions
Creating the Bang Bang Chicken Bowl is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Rice: Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper.
3. Sauté the Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
5. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your desired heat level.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the chicken and veggies, mixing well to coat everything evenly.
7. Serve: In bowls, layer a scoop of rice topped with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
