Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup corn starch

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2-3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (adjust for spice level)

1 tablespoon sriracha (optional for heat)

4 cups cooked jasmine rice or cauliflower rice

1 cup shredded cabbage (green or purple)

1 cup diced cucumbers

1 cup shredded carrots

1 avocado, sliced

Green onions, sliced for garnish

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

    Set Up Breading Station: In separate bowls, place the corn starch, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl and mix in a pinch of salt and pepper.

      Coat the Chicken: Dredge the chicken pieces first in the corn starch, shaking off the excess. Next, dip them in the beaten eggs, and finally coat them with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.

        Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken pieces in batches (do not overcrowd the pan). Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

          Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha (if using) until well combined. Taste and adjust the heat according to your preference.

            Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the rice at the bottom. Top with the crispy Bang Bang chicken, followed by shredded cabbage, diced cucumbers, shredded carrots, and avocado slices.

              Drizzle Sauce: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top of the bowls.

                Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bang Bang Chicken Bowls!
