Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

1 cup cooked jasmine rice or quinoa

1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or your choice)

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup sliced cucumbers

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spiciness)

1 teaspoon lime juice

Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in the spice mixture until evenly coated.

    Breading the Chicken: Set up a breading station with three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and another with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each piece of seasoned chicken first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.

      Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

        Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust the spiciness by adding more sriracha as desired.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of jasmine rice or quinoa. Add a handful of mixed greens, followed by fried chicken pieces. Top with shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and green onions. Drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately, garnished with additional sauce on the side if desired. Enjoy your delicious Bang Bang Chicken Bowl!
