Bang Bang Chicken
A flavorful dish featuring tender chicken pieces coated in a creamy, spicy sauce that brings joy to any table.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts You can use thighs for a juicier option!
- ½ cup cornstarch A great gluten-free thickening option.
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup mayonnaise Substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter twist!
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust based on your spice tolerance!
- 1 tablespoon lime juice Fresh is best, but bottled lime juice works too.
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow dish, sprinkle the cornstarch over the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
Cooking
- Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add your coated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and toss it in the Bang Bang sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve your Bang Bang Chicken warm, topped with freshly chopped green onions.
Notes
Consider adding chopped bell peppers or shredded carrots for added crunch. For a healthier option, grilling the chicken instead of frying can still deliver great flavor. Feel free to add minced garlic for extra taste.
