  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine or brown rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup chopped cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • Spicy Bang Bang sauce:
    • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
    • 1 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
    • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and tender. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips. Alternatively, cook the chicken in a Ninja Air Fryer Pro for crispy results in about 15 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth. Adjust spiciness to taste. Set aside.
  3. Start with a base of cooked rice in each bowl. Top with sliced chicken, shredded carrots, chopped cucumbers, and green onions. Drizzle generously with the Bang Bang sauce.
  4. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired. Serve immediately for the freshest, tastiest experience.

Notes

  • Store leftovers separately in airtight containers to maintain freshness.
  • Refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat the chicken before assembling the bowls.
  • Feel free to customize the vegetables or spice level to suit your preferences.
