Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons sriracha or hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
- Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken strips with a pinch of salt and pepper. Once hot, add the chicken to the pan and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, sriracha, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha if desired.
- In each serving bowl, layer shredded cabbage, carrots, and chopped bell peppers. Top with the cooked chicken slices. Drizzle generously with the spicy Bang Bang sauce, ensuring each bite is flavorful and creamy.
- Garnish the bowls with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and additional sauce if preferred. Serve immediately with cooked rice or quinoa to soak up the sauce and add extra nutrition.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the spice level by adding more sriracha or hot sauce according to your taste.
- Use pre-cooked chicken or utilize leftovers for quicker preparation.
- For added crunch, sprinkle extra shredded vegetables or nuts on top.
- Serve with extra sauce on the side for more flavor.
