Ingredients
Let’s gather everything you need to bring this mouthwatering dish to life. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha, adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re out of sweet chili sauce, a mix of honey and hot sauce can do the trick. And if cilantro isn’t your thing, swap it for parsley for a fresh touch!
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how to craft this flavorful bowl in a few simple steps:
- Start by seasoning the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Coat them evenly in cornstarch, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches, cooking until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred heat level.
- Assemble your bowls by placing a bed of cooked rice, followed by the crispy chicken. Generously drizzle the creamy sauce over the top.
- Finish with a sprinkle of shredded lettuce, chopped scallions, and cilantro for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Remember, patience is key when frying the chicken — aim for that perfect golden crispiness!
