Instructions
Creating the Bang Bang Chicken Bowl is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Coat Chicken: Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch until evenly coated.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.
5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
6. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and garlic powder until smooth.
7. Combine: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the vegetables. Drizzle the sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly.
8. Serve Over Rice: Divide the cooked rice among bowls and top with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
9. Garnish: Finish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
