Cook the Rice: Prepare your rice according to the package instructions. If you have a rice cooker, this makes the process even easier.
Beginner Tip: Stick to the package directions for perfectly cooked rice. A rice cooker ensures consistency.

Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Beginner Tip: Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Beginner Tip: Ensure the skillet is hot to avoid sticking and ensure even browning. Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken reaches 165°F internally.

Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice. Adjust the heat with more sriracha if you prefer a spicier sauce, or add more honey for sweetness.
Beginner Tip: Taste the sauce and tweak it to suit your preference.

Add Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Beginner Tip: Don’t overcook the vegetables. They should stay colorful and crisp.

Combine and Serve: Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, mixing gently to coat everything. Serve the Bang Bang Chicken over a bed of rice and garnish with extra sriracha or chopped green onions.
Beginner Tip: Make sure every piece of chicken and veggie is well-coated in the sauce for maximum flavor.
