Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 ½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
- salt and pepper
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
Bang Bang Sauce
- 3/4 cup light mayonnaise 166g
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce 140g
- 1/4 cup ketchup 70g
- 1 tsp. (or more) sriracha
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. powdered peanut butter, PB2 13g (see notes)
For the Bowls

- 12 oz. cooked frozen cauliflower rice
- julienned carrots
- finely sliced cucumber
- shredded green cabbage
- pickled onions
- sweet heat jalapeños
- green onions
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Let the chicken cook untouched for 3 minutes, flip and repeat until cooked through and no longer pink.
- While the chicken cooks mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, ketchup, sriracha (add more to your desired heat level), garlic powder and powdered PB2. Mix until fully combined.
- When the chicken is fully cooked, turn off the heat and add ½ cup of the sauce (150 grams) to the chicken and stir to combine. Save the rest of the sauce to drizzle on your prepared bowls.
- For the bowls, combine the cooked rice and cauli rice and split between 4 bowls. Add desired toppings like shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, sliced cucumber and pickled onions along with 171 grams of cooked and sauced chicken and 52 grams of remaining sauce drizzled on top. Top with chopped green onions and optional sesame seeds.
Notes
- Nutritional information includes the rice/cauliflower rice combo .
- PB2 - you can omit this entirely but I love the added peanut flavor and protein for the sauce.
- Nutritional information is an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
