Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)

1 cup mixed veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sriracha

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions and set it aside. A rice cooker can simplify this step.
  2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté for 6–8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice. Adjust the sriracha for spiciness and add more honey for sweetness if desired.
  5. Toss in the mixed veggies and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until just tender but still slightly crisp.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat, pour the sauce over the chicken and veggies, and stir to coat everything evenly.
  7. Serve the Bang Bang Chicken over your choice of rice and garnish with extra sriracha or chopped green onions.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap in your favorite veggies like zucchini, snap peas, or mushrooms for a different flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a lighter sauce, you can replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a dairy-free mayo alternative.
  • Adjust the sriracha in the sauce to make it as spicy or mild as you like. You can also add chili flakes for an extra kick.
  • If using frozen vegetables, thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture in the skillet.
  • This recipe can easily be made vegetarian by substituting chicken with tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas.
