Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup mixed veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)

Carbohydrates

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

Fat and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

Flavorings and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Prepare 1 cup of rice according to the package instructions, whether white, brown, or cauliflower rice, then set it aside to keep warm while you cook the rest of the dish.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season them evenly with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor before cooking.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and fully cooked through.
  4. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Mix well and adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
  5. Cook the Vegetables: Add 1 cup of mixed veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots) to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. Combine Chicken, Veggies, and Sauce: Remove the skillet from heat and pour the prepared Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir everything together thoroughly to coat evenly with the sauce.
  7. Serve: Spoon the chicken and veggie mixture over the cooked rice. Garnish as desired, such as with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, and serve immediately for a delicious, satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute any mixed vegetables according to preference or seasonality.
  • For a healthier option, use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead of regular mayonnaise.
  • Adjust the sriracha quantity to control the spice level.
  • Cauliflower rice keeps this dish lower in carbs and gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
