Tender chicken, vibrant veggies, and zesty Bang Bang sauce come together for a satisfying meal in under 30 minutes.

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken and Rice

01 - 450 g boneless, skinless chicken breast
02 - 240 g cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
03 - 150 g mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - Salt, to taste
06 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Bang Bang Sauce

07 - 120 g mayonnaise
08 - 2 tablespoons sriracha
09 - 1 tablespoon honey
10 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
11 - 1 teaspoon lime juice

# Steps:

01 - Cook rice according to package instructions in a rice cooker or saucepan. Set aside once fully cooked.
02 - Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season evenly with salt and black pepper.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Ensure internal temperature reaches 74°C.
04 - While chicken cooks, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust sriracha or honey to taste if desired.
05 - Add mixed vegetables to skillet with chicken. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
06 - Remove skillet from heat. Drizzle sauce over chicken and vegetables, stirring until evenly coated.
07 - Portion chicken and vegetable mixture over bowls of prepared rice. Optionally garnish with extra sriracha or sliced green onions.

# Notes:

01 - Using a meat thermometer ensures chicken is safely cooked to 74°C.
02 - Do not overcook vegetables; they should remain crisp for the best texture and nutritional value.
03 - For a low-carb bowl, substitute cooked cauliflower rice.
04 - Adjust sriracha and honey in the sauce for your preferred spice and sweetness balance.
