Description

A creamy and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and a spicy kick sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast or Chicken Thighs
  • 2 cups Mixed Vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas)
  • 2 cups Rice (or quinoa/brown rice)
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil, adding rice (or quinoa), reducing heat to low, covering, and simmering until tender (18-20 minutes for white rice, 40-45 minutes for brown rice).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, add chicken, cooking for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden (internal temperature should be 165°F for breasts, slightly longer for thighs).
  3. Sauté mixed vegetables in the same skillet for about 5 minutes until tender. Slice the cooked chicken.
  4. Assemble the bowl with a layer of rice, topped with sautéed vegetables and chicken strips. Drizzle with a mixture of mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha.

Notes

Timing is key! Serve immediately for the best experience. Add toppings like chopped peanuts for crunch.
