Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

Vegetables and Garnish

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coating: In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Make the Spicy Mayo Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust the amount of sriracha to achieve your desired spice level.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Start each bowl with a base of cooked jasmine rice. Top with the cooked chicken pieces, then add shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions.
  5. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the spicy mayo sauce generously over the assembled bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute cornstarch with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure sweet chili sauce is gluten-free.
  • Adjust the sriracha quantity based on your preferred spice tolerance.
  • Use leftover cooked chicken and rice to reduce prep time for meal prep.
  • To make it lighter, swap mayonnaise for a low-fat or yogurt-based alternative.
  • Adding fresh herbs like cilantro or basil can enhance the flavor profile.
