Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, honey, and Sriracha. Whisk until smooth and glossy, adjusting heat or sweetness as needed.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, seasoning chicken cubes with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook chicken in a single layer, flipping once until golden brown, and juices run clear, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Toss hot chicken with most of the Bang Bang sauce, saving a little for drizzling. Let it sit for a minute.
  5. Assemble each bowl with warm rice, topped with chicken coated in sauce and fresh vegetables. Add avocado, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
  6. Drizzle with reserved sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Prep the rice and chop veggies while chicken marinates to save time. Keep extra sauce on hand for drizzling.
