Method
 

Instructions for Bang Bang Chicken Bowl
  1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet and add oil. Cook the seasoned chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, then sauté broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Make Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and soy sauce until smooth. Adjust the spice level to your taste.
  5. Combine: Return chicken to the skillet, pour sauce over, and stir to coat. Simmer for 1-2 minutes for flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Layer cooked rice in bowls, top with chicken and vegetable mixture, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
