Bang Bang Chicken Bowl
A quick and flavorful chicken bowl with a creamy bang bang sauce, perfect for a weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
Bang Bang Sauce
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon honey
For Serving
- 2 cups cooked rice brown or white
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 0.5 cup grated carrots
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
- sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- While chicken is marinating, whisk together all the ingredients for the Bang Bang sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add about half of the Bang Bang sauce to the skillet with the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and the Bang Bang chicken.
- Drizzle with the remaining Bang Bang sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha to the sauce. This recipe is also great with shrimp or tofu.
