Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients for the Bang Bang Chicken Bowl. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and julienne the carrot. Cut the bell pepper into strips and separate the broccoli into florets. Slice the green onions and set aside.
  2. Cook the rice according to package instructions, typically rinsing and boiling. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until fluffy.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, soy sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. In the same pan, stir-fry the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Return the chicken to the pan with vegetables. Add the cooked rice and mix for 1-2 minutes over low heat.
  5. Drizzle the sauce over the mixture, tossing until all ingredients are coated. Cook for an additional minute.
  6. Divide into bowls and garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, cilantro, and avocado slices if desired.
