Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, diced

1 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 eggs, beaten

½ cup panko breadcrumbs

2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup sliced cucumber

½ cup sliced green onions

½ cup chopped cilantro

1 avocado, sliced

Sesame seeds for garnish

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Taste and adjust spice levels as desired. Set aside.

    Coat the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the diced chicken in the dry mix until evenly coated.

      Dredge the Chicken: Dip the coated chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, then roll them in panko breadcrumbs to create a crispy exterior.

        Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them and drain on a paper towel.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice at the bottom. Then, top with fried chicken, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, green onions, cilantro, and avocado.

            Drizzle with Sauce: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top of each bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a finishing touch.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm and crispy!
