  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

Sauce Ingredients

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise Can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

Toppings

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Measure out all remaining ingredients to make the cooking process smoother.

Cooking

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced chicken. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, soy sauce, garlic powder, and minced ginger. Stir until everything is well combined into a smooth sauce.
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the sauce mixture over the meat in the skillet. Stir everything together, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated in the flavorful mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to warm through.

Assembly

  • In individual serving bowls, first place a generous scoop of cooked rice. Top with the saucy chicken mixture.
  • Sprinkle shredded carrots on top of the chicken, followed by the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.
  • Feel free to customize your bowls with extras such as avocado slices, sesame seeds, or crushed peanuts.
