Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup rice cooked
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrots julienned
  • 1/4 cup peanuts crushed
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
  2. Start by cutting your boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. This makes them easier to cook and allows them to absorb the flavors of your marinade wonderfully. The anticipation builds as you season them lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Step 2: Whip Up the Marinade
  4. In a mixing bowl combine soy sauce minced garlic and a splash of sesame oil. Whisk these ingredients together until thoroughly combined. The aroma of garlic paired with the richness of soy sauce will immediately excite your senses hinting at the deliciousness that lies ahead.
  5. Step 3: Marinate the Chicken
  6. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and ensure they are fully coated. Allow the chicken to sit and soak in all those amazing flavors for at least 30 minutes — this step is crucial as it helps to infuse a depth of taste into your Bang Bang Chicken. While you wait perhaps grab your favorite kitchen tunes to dance around to!
  7. Step 4: Cook the Chicken
  8. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and wait until it shines! Carefully place the marinated chicken in the skillet giving it enough space to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. The delightful sizzle will make your kitchen feel like a bustling restaurant!
  9. Step 5: Make the Bang Bang Sauce
  10. In a separate bowl mix mayonnaise sweet chili sauce and a touch of sriracha for that perfect hint of heat. The creamy sweetness of the sauce blends beautifully and you’ll find yourself wanting to taste it again and again.
  11. Step 6: Combine and Serve
  12. Once the chicken is cooked toss it in your homemade Bang Bang sauce until it’s evenly coated. Prepare a bed of rice or your favorite grains as a delightful base for the Bang Bang Chicken. Spoon the chicken over the rice and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for that beautiful finishing touch. Dig in and savor every bite!

Notes

Note 1: Adjust Spice to TasteFeel free to adjust the amount of sriracha in your Bang Bang sauce to suit your spice tolerance. If you prefer milder flavors, reduce the amount, and if you love the heat, go ahead and increase it!
Note 2: LeftoversYour leftovers can be stored for up to three days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently on the stove to maintain the delicious texture and flavor.
Note 3: Nutritional BalanceFor a wholesome meal, consider adding a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. This not only complements your Bang Bang Chicken but enhances the nutrition of your meal.
