Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Sauce
  • 1 pound chicken breast Can substitute with shrimp or tofu.
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil For cooking the chicken.
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt.
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce Adjust according to spice preference.
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
For the Bowl Assembly
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice Use as base for the bowl.
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions For garnish.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro For garnish.
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds For garnish.
  • 1 lime sliced For garnish and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha sauce, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder until you have a smooth mixture.
  2. Set aside 1/4 cup of this sauce for drizzling later.
  3. Add the chicken breast pieces to the remaining sauce, tossing to coat every piece evenly.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken.
  2. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring until the chicken turns golden brown and is fully cooked through.
  3. Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a cutting board and slice it into bite-size pieces.
Assembly
  1. Divide the cooked jasmine rice into four bowls, creating a cozy bed for the toppings.
  2. Arrange the chicken over the rice, lovingly placing the shredded carrots and diced cucumber around the chicken.
  3. Drizzle the reserved sauce over each chicken portion for that final touch of flavor.
  4. Garnish with sliced green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and lime slices for that pop of freshness.
  5. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
