For the Bowl
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (about 1 cup uncooked) Use leftover rice for quicker preparation.
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts Can substitute with chicken thighs for richer flavor.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise Swappable with plain Greek yogurt for a tangier sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce Provides sweetness to balance the heat.
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust to taste for spice level.
  • 1 cup fresh veggies, sliced or chopped (bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots) Any combination of fresh veggies works well.
  • to taste Salt and pepper For seasoning the chicken.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the uncooked jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package directions and keep warm. Fluff with a fork before serving.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust sriracha for desired heat.
  3. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Pound thicker pieces to an even thickness.
Cooking
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  2. Remove chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
  3. Slice the chicken against the grain into even pieces.
Assembly
  1. Divide warm jasmine rice between bowls, top with sliced chicken and fresh vegetables.
  2. Drizzle spicy mayo over each bowl and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
