Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 0.25 cup green onions chopped (for garnish)
Bang Bang Sauce:
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or more, to taste
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Toss chicken cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.
  3. Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, honey, and garlic powder in a small bowl for the Bang Bang Sauce. Adjust sriracha to taste.
  4. Remove cooked chicken from heat and pour Bang Bang sauce over it. Toss to coat evenly.
  5. Steam broccoli florets until tender-crisp (5-7 minutes), or roast broccoli and bell pepper at 400F for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Divide cooked brown rice (or quinoa) among 4 meal prep containers. Top with Bang Bang chicken, broccoli, and red bell pepper.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions. Cool completely before sealing and refrigerating for up to 4 days.
  8. Reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through, when ready to eat.

Notes

Feel free to customize your veggies with snap peas, carrots, or edamame. For a spicier kick, add more sriracha to the sauce!
