  • Author: Lisa

Description

This easy Baked Bang Bang Chicken Bowl is the ultimate weeknight dinner—quick to prepare, family-friendly, and bursting with flavor. Featuring tender chicken baked to golden perfection and topped with a spicy, creamy chili-mayo sauce, it’s served over jasmine rice and paired with crisp fresh veggies for the perfect all-in-one meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for pan-frying)

For the bang bang sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

For the bowl:

  • 2 cups cooked white rice or jasmine rice
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, shredded or julienned
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in cornstarch, then dip into the beaten eggs.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken pieces for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the bowls by dividing the cooked rice between serving dishes.
  5. Add shredded lettuce or cabbage, cucumber, carrots, and cooked chicken to each bowl.
  6. Drizzle the bang bang sauce generously over the chicken. Sprinkle with green onions and any optional toppings you like.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Protein swap: Try tofu or shrimp for a twist.

  • Spice level: Adjust sriracha to control heat.

  • Make-ahead tip: Prep sauce and veggies in advance to save time.

  • Serving idea: Turn it into lettuce wraps or tacos.

  • Gluten-free tip: Use tamari and gluten-free mayo.

  • Storage: Store sauce and chicken separately to keep the coating crisp.
