Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your rice according to the package instructions. If using quick-cook rice, it should take about 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Once the chicken is browned, toss in mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for an additional 5 minutes until they are vibrant and tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth and creamy, adjusting sriracha to taste.
  5. Layer the Bang Bang Chicken Bowl starting with rice as the base, followed by sautéed chicken and vegetables.
  6. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the bowl, then garnish with green onions and cilantro. Serve immediately.
