  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup fresh broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook the chicken. Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Cook the rice and vegetables. Prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions. While the rice cooks, steam or lightly roast the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Combine chicken with sauce. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour approximately 3/4 of the prepared Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked jasmine rice into 4 meal prep containers. Top each with an equal portion of the sauced chicken and cooked broccoli florets. Drizzle any remaining Bang Bang sauce over the bowls, if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for meal prep.

Notes

  • Store your delicious Bang Bang Chicken bowls in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making your meal prep a breeze!
  • When reheating, a quick zap in the microwave for 1-2 minutes should do the trick; stir halfway and consider adding a tiny splash of water to keep the chicken juicy.
  • Elevate your bowl with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or even a side of crisp cucumber slices for an added burst of freshness and texture.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the sriracha in your Bang Bang sauce to truly match your spice preference – a little extra honey can also balance any extra heat beautifully.
