Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cornstarch

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko bread crumbs

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed

½ cup sliced green onions

2 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, etc.)

¼ cup chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Bang Bang Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust for heat preference)

1 teaspoon lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the spiciness to your preference. Set aside.

    Coat the Chicken: In one bowl, place cornstarch. In a second bowl, add beaten eggs. In a third bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. Dip each piece of chicken first into the cornstarch, shaking off any excess, then into the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

      Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

        Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of cooked jasmine rice. Top with mixed greens, shredded carrots, sugar snap peas, and fried chicken. Drizzle desired amount of Bang Bang sauce over the top.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy the flavor explosion!
