Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups jasmine rice cooked
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for lighter version
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha adjust to taste
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • sesame seeds for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss chicken until well coated.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until shimmering.
  3. Add chicken in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Remove chicken and rest on a wire rack for 1 minute.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust sriracha to taste.
  6. Assemble bowls with jasmine rice as base, arrange crispy chicken to one side.
  7. Add shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and green onions in separate sections.
  8. Drizzle bang bang sauce in a zigzag pattern over the top.
  9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. Add sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition. For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with crispy pan-fried tofu or roasted chickpeas (400°F for 20 minutes). Store components separately for meal prep, keeps up to 3 days refrigerated. Reheat chicken in 375°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
