1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha adjust to your spice preference

vegetable oil for cooking

Equipment

Large skillet,
Small bowl
Steamer or Sauté Pan

Method

Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. This helps it cook faster and ensures even coverage with the flavorful Bang Bang sauce.
Cook the Broccoli: Steam or sauté the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. You want them to be slightly softened but still have a nice bite. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth. Adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired level of spiciness.
Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the Bang Bang sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top with the Bang Bang chicken and broccoli florets.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the bowls for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bang Bang Chicken Bowl!

Notes

Substitutions: For vegan option, use tofu instead of chicken and vegan mayonnaise. For gluten-free, ensure your sweet chili sauce is gluten-free. Brown rice offers additional nutrients over white rice. For quick dinner ideas, you can buy pre-cooked rice! Try adding bell peppers, carrots, or edamame to vary veggies. Add red pepper flakes for spice or use cauliflower rice for low-carb.
