Ingredients
- For the Chicken:
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Olive oil spray
- For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to spice preference)
- 1 tsp honey
- For the Bowl:
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions
- Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken chunks with cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a light spray of olive oil. Cook chicken pieces 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth. Toss cooked chicken with sauce.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with bang bang chicken, avocado slices, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, and cucumber.
- Garnish: Drizzle extra sauce over the top, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro if using.
Tips for Meal prep
Keep the sauce separate until serving to prevent soggy chicken.
Swap rice for cauliflower rice or quinoa for a lower-carb or higher-protein option.
Cook chicken in the air fryer at 400°F for 12–14 minutes to keep it extra crispy.
