Instructions
Follow these easy steps to prepare your amazing Bang Bang Chicken Bowl:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Coat the Chicken: Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs for crunch.
3. Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Blanch the Vegetables: In the same pot of boiling water, briefly blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes. Remove and immediately place them in ice water to maintain color and crunch.
5. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and lime juice. Adjust the Sriracha to taste preference for spiciness.
6. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of rice. Place the crispy chicken on top, followed by the blanched broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper.
7. Drizzle Sauce: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top of the chicken and vegetables.
8. Garnish: Optional garnishes include chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
