# Ingredients You'll Need:
01 -
Black pepper, as much as you like
02 -
Salt, however much you prefer
03 -
150 g veggies (like carrots, peppers, broccoli) mixed together
04 -
30 ml olive oil
05 -
450 g chicken breast, skinless and boneless
06 -
240 g cooked rice (go with brown, white, or try cauliflower)
→ Bang Bang Sauce
07 -
5 ml fresh lime juice
08 -
15 ml honey
09 -
120 g mayo
10 -
5 g garlic powder
11 -
30 ml sriracha
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
After pulling the skillet off the burner, pour that Bang Bang sauce all over your chicken and veggies. Make sure everything gets a good coat. Dish up the mix over bowls of steamed rice. Go wild with extra sriracha or sliced green onions if you want.
02 -
Toss your veggies in next to the finished chicken in your hot skillet. Stir everything for just a few minutes—2 or 3 tops—so the veggies stay crisp with a little bite.
03 -
As the chicken cooks, grab a bowl and toss together your mayo, honey, lime juice, sriracha, and garlic powder. Whisk it all up until totally smooth. Want it sweeter or bolder? Add more honey or sriracha as you mix.
04 -
Get a large skillet going on medium-high and pour in your olive oil. Drop in the chicken pieces and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, moving them around, till they're golden and the middle is 74°C. That means they're ready.
05 -
Cut the chicken into little chunks you can pop in your mouth. Throw on some salt and pepper so even the smallest piece tastes great.
06 -
Cook up your choice of rice however you usually do. You can use a rice cooker if it makes life easier. Once it’s done, just leave it aside for now.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Use a thermometer if you've got one. The chicken should read 74°C so it's safe to eat.
02 -
If you want to go lighter, try using cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
03 -
Don't overcook those veggies—they should have some crunch so they're not mushy and give you more nutrients.
04 -
Adjust the honey and sriracha bit by bit so you get the exact kind of sweet kick you like best.
