These easy Bang Bang Chicken Bowls are packed with juicy chicken, fresh veggies, fluffy rice, and a creamy sweet-and-spicy bang bang sauce. They’re perfect for busy weeknights and come together in about 30 minutes!

Ingredients

For the Chicken

* 2 lbs chicken tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces
* 1½ tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp paprika
* 1½ tsp salt
* ½ tsp black pepper
* ½ tbsp avocado oil or olive oil (plus a little more for cooking)

For the Bang Bang Sauce

* ½ cup mayonnaise
* ½ cup sweet chili sauce
* 2 tsp sriracha (or more if you like extra heat)
* 1–2 tsp rice vinegar or fresh lime juice
* 1 tbsp honey

For the Bowls

* 2 cups uncooked short-grain white rice, cooked
* ⅓ small red cabbage, thinly shredded
* 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
* 1½ cups julienned carrots
* 3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Directions

1. Cook the rice: Prepare the rice according to the package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. Season the chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and oil, then toss until every piece is evenly coated.
3. Cook the chicken: Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
4. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar (or lime juice), and honey until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the spice level if needed.
5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the chicken, shredded cabbage, cucumber, and carrots. Drizzle generously with the bang bang sauce and finish with sliced green onions.
