Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced For a juicier alternative, boneless skinless chicken thighs can be used.
  • 1 cup cooked rice Can substitute with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a different grain.
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots) Adjust based on seasonal availability.

Bang Bang Sauce

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise Can use Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Increase for more heat if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce Use gluten-free soy sauce for gluten-free diets.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnishes

  • Green onions for garnish Optional: Top with toasted sesame seeds or chopped roasted peanuts.

Instructions
 

Make the Bang Bang Sauce

  • In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Whisk until smooth and set aside. For an extra-silky texture, blend in a small blender.

Cook the Chicken

  • In a skillet over medium heat, add oil and cook the diced chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
  • Use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

  • Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry until just tender-crisp, about 4–6 minutes.
  • Optionally, add a splash of soy sauce while cooking.

Combine Chicken, Veggies, and Sauce

  • Reduce heat and pour the bang bang sauce over the chicken and vegetables, mixing until coated and heated through for 1–2 minutes.

Serve

  • Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
  • Warm bowls beforehand to keep the dish toasty longer.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days. Sauce can be made ahead and stored for 2–3 days. For a lighter sauce, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
