Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, thighs, or ground chicken
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional base: cooked rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, or greens
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lime juice or rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter twist), 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce, 1 teaspoon of sriracha (adjust based on your heat preference), and 1 teaspoon of lime juice or rice vinegar. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Heat the Olive Oil: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Season and Cook the Chicken: Add 1 lb of chicken—either cut into strips or ground—to the skillet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  4. Prepare Your Base: If you choose to include a base, this is the time to arrange cooked rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, or fresh greens in a bowl.
  5. Add Fresh Veggies: Layer your cooked chicken over your base, then gently pile on the shredded cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and sliced red bell pepper.
  6. Drizzle with Bang Bang Sauce: Generously drizzle your prepared Bang Bang sauce over the bowl.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm, dig in with a fork, and relish the explosion of flavors.
