Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or cauliflower rice for low-carb)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Prepare your jasmine rice according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, toss cubed chicken with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Let sit for 5-10 minutes while you prep the sauce.
  3. Make the bang bang sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar. Taste and adjust the spice level as needed.
  4. Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked rice between bowls. Top with cooked chicken, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and chopped green onions.
  6. Drizzle with sauce: Generously spoon the bang bang sauce over each bowl. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, or refrigerate for meal prep.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy.’, ‘Adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha.’, ‘Prep the sauce and chop veggies ahead of time to save time.’, ‘Use fresh veggies for better flavor and texture.’, ‘Thin the sauce with a splash of water or rice vinegar if needed.’]
