Perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 1 pound chicken breast (main protein source; substituting chicken thighs adds extra moisture)

For the Vegetables

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (use seasonal favorites like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas)

For the Rice

  • 2 cups rice (consider using quinoa or brown rice for additional fiber)

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (provides creamy flavor)
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (adds sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust the spice to your liking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Start by cooking the rice according to the package instructions, typically taking around 15-20 minutes until tender and fluffy.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil to prevent sticking and help with cooking.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breast to the heated skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: Toss in the mixed vegetables with the chicken and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
  5. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha thoroughly to create the creamy bang bang sauce.
  6. Assemble Your Bowl: Place cooked rice into each serving bowl, top with sautéed chicken and vegetables, then drizzle generously with the bang bang sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken thighs instead of breasts for a moister texture.
  • Use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier, higher fiber alternative to white rice.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level in the bang bang sauce.
  • Add fresh herbs like cilantro or sliced green onions for extra freshness.
  • Vegetables can be varied seasonally or according to personal preference.
