Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 3 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, cucumbers)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice: Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions (about 15 minutes) until fluffy.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, toss in chopped mixed vegetables over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Assemble bowls: In each serving bowl, layer rice as the base; top with sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, and drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce.
  6. Finish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving warm.
