Description
A vibrant and customizable dish featuring tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and a spicy-sweet Bang Bang sauce served over rice. Perfect for busy weeknights and beginner cooks.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the package instructions and set aside, keeping it warm.
- Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice to make the sauce. Adjust to taste.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet with the chicken and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until just tender.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
- Serve the mixture over warm rice. Optionally, drizzle with extra sriracha or sprinkle with green onions.
Notes
- Use leftover rice and vegetables to save time and reduce waste.
- Substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or tempeh for variety.
- Frozen vegetables can be used—just thaw and drain before adding.
- Make the sauce milder by reducing sriracha or sweeter by adding more honey.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave or skillet.
