Description
A delicious and spicy chicken bowl featuring crispy chicken tossed in a creamy and spicy bang bang sauce, served with rice and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Place the cooked chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken bakes, prepare the bang bang sauce by whisking together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into strips.
- Assemble the bowls by layering rice, shredded lettuce, cucumber, and carrots. Place the sliced chicken on top.
- Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can double coat the chicken with breadcrumbs.
- Adjust the sriracha and sweet chili sauce to control the spice level.
- Feel free to add any other vegetables like bell peppers or avocado for extra flavor.
