Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup sliced cucumbers
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
2. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the chicken until golden brown (about 4–6 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels.
4. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha to make the bang bang sauce.
5. In serving bowls, layer cooked rice first, followed by veggies and crispy chicken. Drizzle with the bang bang sauce.
6. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or cauliflower for variety.
To lighten it up, air fry or bake the chicken instead of deep frying.
Add extra vegetables like edamame, bell peppers, or avocado for a nutrient boost.
Bang bang sauce can be adjusted to taste—add more sriracha for extra heat or more mayo for a milder flavor.
