A quick and flavorful Bang Bang Chicken Bowl featuring crispy chicken coated in a creamy, tangy, sweet-and-spicy sauce, served over rice or noodles, and topped with fresh green onions.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), chopped into bite-sized pieces

3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

1/2 cup chili sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise (use light for a healthier option)

4 green onions, finely chopped

3 cups cooked rice or noodles

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp honey (or agave syrup for vegan)

Juice of 1 lime (freshly squeezed)

1 tbsp oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces and mince garlic.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 7–10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
  4. Reduce heat to low, pour sauce over cooked chicken, and stir to coat evenly. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Serve chicken over rice or noodles and garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

  • Swap chicken with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version.
  • Add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas for extra nutrients.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce and rice noodles for a gluten-free version.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the sauce from drying out.
