Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 cup chopped green onions

Sesame seeds for garnish

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken pieces in this mixture until they are well coated.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until well combined. Taste and adjust the spiciness by adding more sriracha if desired.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, create a base with cooked jasmine rice. Top the rice with the crispy chicken pieces, shredded carrots, and cucumber slices.

          Drizzle the Sauce: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top of each bowl.

            Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro for added flavor and color.

              Serve: Enjoy this flavorful Bang Bang Chicken Bowl warm, combining all the elements together for a delicious bite!
