Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Bang Bang Chicken Bowl
  1. Start by dicing your boneless, skinless chicken into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they're consistent for even cooking. Mince some garlic to bring aromatic flavor to your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl. Have your other ingredients ready—measure out your mayonnaise, chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and sliced green onions for a smooth cooking process.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the diced chicken in a single layer, allowing space for browning. Sauté for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the creamy sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Blend until smooth, adjusting chili sauce according to your spice preference.
  4. Once the chicken is perfectly cooked, reduce the skillet heat to low and pour your prepared sauce over the sizzling chicken. Stir to coat each piece evenly, letting the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Spoon the saucy chicken over a bed of fluffy rice or noodles in bowls. Garnish with freshly sliced green onions for a burst of flavor. If desired, sprinkle with chili flakes.
