Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then cook for 6-8 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the Bang Bang sauce ingredients in a small bowl: mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and toss it in the Bang Bang sauce until it’s well-coated.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice between bowls, then top with the sauced chicken, cucumber, bell pepper, shredded carrots, and green onions.
Garnish with sesame seeds (optional) and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is easily customizable. You can swap the chicken for shrimp, tofu, or beef.

Use cauliflower rice for a lighter, low-carb alternative.

Additional veggies like avocado, edamame, or steamed broccoli can be added for extra nutrition.

The Bang Bang sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for 1-2 days.

For gluten-free options, ensure that the soy sauce and other ingredients are gluten-free.
