Instructions
Creating your own Bang Bang Chicken Bowl is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and pepper.
2. Coat the Chicken: Place cornstarch in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken pieces in cornstarch, ensuring they are evenly coated.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally.
5. Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
6. Toss Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat. In the same skillet, add the sauce and toss the chicken until well-coated.
7. Prepare the Base: In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cooked rice or noodles as the base.
8. Add Toppings: Spoon the saucy chicken mixture over the rice or noodles. Top with shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, and chopped green onions.
9. Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh cilantro, if desired.
