Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch for crispy coating
  • 1 teaspoon Salt to enhance flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper adds mild heat
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika for color and smokiness
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil for frying
For the Bowl

  • 2 cups Shredded Lettuce
  • 1 cup Diced Cucumber
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds optional garnish
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise or substitute with non-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha adjust to taste

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • skillet
  • Medium saucepan
  • small bowl
  • paper towel

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create a seasoned coating. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and toss them in the mixture until each piece is thoroughly coated.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the chicken pieces in a single layer and fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  4. Prepare jasmine rice according to package instructions. Generally, this will involve rinsing the rice, adding double the amount of water, and cooking on low heat for about 15 minutes.
  5. To assemble each Bang Bang Chicken Bowl, start with a scoop of jasmine rice as the base. Top with the fried chicken pieces, layer shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions.
  6. Drizzle the creamy spicy sauce over the chicken and veggies, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
