Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup cornstarch

2 large eggs

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetable oil, for frying

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

1 cup shredded cabbage (green or purple)

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cup scallions, chopped

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Bang Bang Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

1-2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)

1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In three separate bowls, set up your breading station:

      - Bowl 1: Cornstarch seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

        - Bowl 2: Beat the eggs until smooth.

          - Bowl 3: Panko breadcrumbs mixed with a pinch of salt.

            Coat the Chicken:

              - Dredge each piece of chicken in the cornstarch mixture, shaking off excess.

                - Dip it into the beaten eggs.

                  - Finally, coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

                    Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces in a single layer (you may have to do this in batches) and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

                      Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked jasmine rice, shredded cabbage, and fried chicken. Drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce.

                        Garnish: Top with sliced avocado, chopped scallions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor and freshness.

                          Serve: Enjoy your delicious Bang Bang Chicken Bowls immediately!
