Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them generously with salt and pepper for added flavor.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and sauté until golden brown and thoroughly cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, toss in the broccoli, red bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until they become tender yet still crisp.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and soy sauce until well combined.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Assembly
  1. In serving bowls, create a comforting base with a layer of cooked rice.
  2. Spoon the flavorful chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice layer, distributing evenly.
  3. Add chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top of each bowl for an extra burst of flavor.
Serving
  1. Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl fresh and hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove. For freezing, store the chicken and veggies separately from the rice to maintain the best texture.
