Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite‑size pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup cooked brown rice (or quinoa)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup sliced cucumber
- 1 cup chopped red cabbage
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
- Season the chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, flipping once, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth.
- Assemble the bowl: Start with a base of brown rice. Layer shredded carrots, cucumber, red cabbage, and scallions. Place the cooked chicken on top.
- Dress and garnish: Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and veggies. Sprinkle chopped cilantro and a few extra scallions for color.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy a vibrant, protein‑rich bowl that’s ready in just 30 minutes.
Notes
- Use a non‑stick skillet to keep the chicken from sticking and to reduce oil usage.
- For a milder sauce, reduce the Sriracha to 1 tbsp.
- Let the chicken rest for a minute after cooking; this locks in juices.
- Keep the veggies crisp by adding them raw—no need to sauté.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container; reheat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes.
