Description

A quick and delicious meal featuring crispy chicken and fresh veggies over jasmine rice, topped with a creamy spicy mayo.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 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. In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture until well coated.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer.
  3. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  5. To assemble the bowls, start with a base of jasmine rice. Top with the cooked chicken, shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and green onions.
  6. Drizzle the spicy mayo sauce over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken for tofu and for a healthier grain, use brown rice.
