Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Taste and adjust the sriracha according to your spice preference.
  6. In the same skillet, add more vegetable oil if needed and heat over medium heat.
  7. Add broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until tender but crisp.
  8. Add shredded carrots and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, add a scoop of cooked jasmine rice as the base.
  10. Layer the sautéed vegetables over the rice, followed by the sliced chicken.
  11. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce generously over the top.
  12. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.

Notes

  • Serve immediately while warm, with extra Bang Bang sauce on the side if desired.
  • This dish pairs well with a cucumber salad or pickled vegetables for a refreshing contrast.
