A delightful twist on dinner with crispy chicken in a flavorful sauce over jasmine rice and fresh veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 cups Jasmine Rice
  • 2 cups Shredded Lettuce
  • 1 cup Diced Cucumber
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots
  • 2 stalks Chopped Green Onions
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and cut into bite-size pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Coat in Cornstarch: Dredge each piece of chicken in cornstarch until fully coated. Let rest while you heat the oil.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the chicken in a single layer and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth.
  6. Toss the Chicken: Gently combine the fried chicken with the sauce until well-coated.
  7. Prepare the Rice: Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions, optionally using chicken broth for flavor.
  8. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a scoop of rice, top with chicken, and add lettuce, cucumber, and carrots. Garnish with green onions.

Notes

Add crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat or substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
