  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adds mild spice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by preparing the chicken. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture to coat evenly.

Cooking Chicken

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  • Add the coated chicken pieces in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Making Sauce

  • In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until well combined.

Assembly

  • Start with a base of cooked jasmine rice in each bowl.
  • Add the crispy chicken on top, followed by shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, and shredded carrots.
  • Drizzle the creamy sauce over the assembled bowls and top with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet to retain crispiness.
