Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast Cut into bite-sized even pieces
  • 1 cup cooked rice White, brown, or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables Broccoli, bell peppers, carrots
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper To taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Full-fat recommended
  • 2 tbsp sriracha Adjust to taste for desired heat level
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp lime juice Fresh lime preferred

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Rice cooker or saucepan
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Cook rice according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. While the rice cooks, cut the chicken breast into even bite-sized pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice until smooth. Taste and adjust -- add more sriracha for heat or honey for sweetness. Set sauce aside.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Saute for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  5. Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender but still slightly crisp. Remove from heat.
  6. Pour the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly. Serve immediately over rice and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option. Store sauce separately when meal prepping. Reheat chicken and vegetables in a skillet for best texture. Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level.
