Description
A bright, saucy bowl featuring tender chicken and crisp vegetables tossed in a spicy Bang Bang sauce, served over rice or quinoa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or avocado oil)
- 1/4 cup Bang Bang sauce (store-bought or sweet chili sauce)
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the diced chicken dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
- Add the chicken in a single layer and let it brown, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp; add a splash of water if they start to stick.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, pour in the Bang Bang sauce, and toss until everything is evenly coated and heated through (about 1–2 minutes).
- Serve the mixture over warm rice or quinoa. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Notes
For lower sodium, choose low-sodium sauce or make a homemade Bang Bang by mixing mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime. For a vegetarian version, swap chicken for firm tofu or tempeh.
