Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons sriracha
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon lime juice
– 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
– 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
1. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour. In a second shallow bowl, place the beaten eggs. In a third shallow bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
2. Dredge the chicken cubes in the flour, then dip them in the egg, and finally coat them in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
3. Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until well combined.
5. Add the fried chicken to the sauce and toss to coat.
6. Serve the Bang Bang Chicken Bowl over steamed rice, garnished with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
For a spicier version, increase the amount of sriracha. You can also substitute yogurt for the mayonnaise for a tangy twist.
