# What You'll Need:

01 -
Black pepper, as much as you want
02 -
Salt to your liking
03 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
04 -
1 cup cooked rice (go with white, brown, or even cauliflower)
05 -
1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless
→ Vegetables
06 -
1 cup chopped up veggies (think carrots, broccoli, peppers)
→ Bang Bang Sauce
07 -
1 teaspoon lime juice
08 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
09 -
1 tablespoon honey
10 -
2 tablespoons sriracha
11 -
Half a cup mayonnaise
# How to Make It:
01 -
Once you’ve got the chicken and veggies just how you want ‘em, take the pan off the heat. Drench everything with the Bang Bang sauce and mix so it all gets coated. Spoon over a bed of rice. Sprinkle extra sriracha or green onions if you’re in the mood.
02 -
Toss your veggies into the pan with the chicken and fry them for a couple minutes. Just cook till they’re a bit soft but still have a little crunch.
03 -
Grab a small bowl. Throw in the mayo, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice. Mix it up until it’s nice and smooth. Taste and tweak with more honey or sriracha if you want to turn up the sweet or spicy.
04 -
Pour olive oil in a big pan and heat it up over medium-high. Drop in the seasoned chicken and fry until the pieces are golden and cooked through—about 6-8 minutes. Move things around so nothing sticks and every piece cooks evenly.
05 -
Cut the chicken into smaller bites. Sprinkle all over with salt and a bunch of black pepper. Make sure every bit gets some.
06 -
Follow the instructions on your rice bag, whether you’re cooking it in a pot or using a rice cooker. Put it aside and keep it warm for later.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Use a thermometer to check your chicken’s hit 165°F so you know it’s safe to eat.
02 -
Don’t cook the veggies too long or they’ll lose their bite and goodness.
03 -
If spice isn’t your thing, you can always go lighter on the sriracha.
04 -
Swap in cauliflower rice to cut the carbs.
05 -
Green onions or sesame seeds on top bring a pop of color and taste.
