Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast Can be swapped for shrimp, tofu, or cauliflower.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Can substitute with vegetable or canola oil.
For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Use dairy-free mayonnaise for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha Adjust according to your spice level preference.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Substitute with agave nectar or maple syrup if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh garlic can also be a great alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice Fresh lime juice is highly recommended for best taste.
For the Bowl
  • 4 cups Mixed Vegetables Choose quick-cooking options like bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots.
  • 2 cups Rice Use white, brown, or quinoa; day-old rice is best for texture.

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice. Whisk until the mixture is perfectly smooth. Set it aside for flavors to meld.
  2. Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper to enhance its flavor.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Steam or sauté your chosen vegetables until they are tender-crisp, roughly 4-5 minutes.
  5. Toss the cooked chicken in half of the prepared bang bang sauce. Serve bowls of rice topped with the chicken, vegetables, and drizzle the remaining sauce on top.
