A flavorful and easy-to-make Bang Bang Chicken Bowl featuring tender baked chicken breasts coated in a spicy mayo and Sriracha sauce, served over fragrant jasmine rice, and topped with fresh bell pepper and green onions for a deliciously satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Vegetables and Rice

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 4 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 1 cup jasmine rice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the chicken from sticking.
  2. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, then place them in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  3. Cook Rice: While the oven heats, cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions, typically simmering in water until fluffy and tender.
  4. Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and low-sodium soy sauce until you get a smooth and creamy spicy sauce.
  5. Marinate and Bake Chicken: Pour half of the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken breasts, coating them well. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), indicating it is fully cooked.
  6. Rest and Slice Chicken: Once baked, allow the chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes to retain juices, then slice them into strips for serving.
  7. Assemble Bowl: Layer the cooked jasmine rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with sliced chicken, diced red bell pepper, and garnish with the sliced green onions (using white parts for more flavor and green parts for freshness). Finally, drizzle the remaining Bang Bang sauce over the top for extra spice and creaminess.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the spice level in the Bang Bang sauce.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through without drying out.
  • For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
