Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons cornstarch

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust for heat preference)

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

¼ cup chopped green onions

¼ cup chopped cilantro

Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thighs evenly with the cornstarch mixture.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the chicken thighs. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

      Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha until smooth. Taste and adjust the spiciness according to your preference.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, divide the cooked jasmine rice as the base. Top with the sliced chicken, shredded carrots, and sliced cucumber.

          Drizzle the Sauce: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and veggies. You can reserve some sauce for dipping if desired.

            Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds if using. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze and enjoy!
