  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or slaw mix
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Bang Bang sauce:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha or chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • Optional garnishes: sesame seeds, chopped green onions, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey to prepare the Bang Bang sauce.
  2. Cook grains according to package instructions and set aside. Julienne the carrot and shred the cabbage.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Rest before slicing into strips.
  4. Assemble bowls by placing a bed of grains, topped with sliced chicken, shredded cabbage, and julienned carrots. Drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro. Serve immediately or store leftovers for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use skinless chicken breasts for a lean protein option.
  • Adjust the spice level by modifying the amount of sriracha in the sauce.
  • Prepare ingredients ahead of time for quick assembly on busy nights.
  • Experiment with additional vegetables like bell peppers or cucumbers for variety.
