  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 4 bowls 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or breast, cubed
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp oil (for frying or air frying)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or quinoa)
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or slaw mix
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss chicken cubes until well coated.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet or preheat air fryer to 400°F. Cook chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice to make the bang bang sauce.
  4. Layer rice in bowls. Top with cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and crispy chicken.
  5. Drizzle generously with bang bang sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter sauce.
  • Air fryer method keeps the chicken crispy with less oil.
  • Great for meal prep—store components separately for freshness.
