Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

1 cup shredded green cabbage

1/2 cup sliced carrots

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 cup Bang Bang sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Prepare Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

    Bread the Chicken: Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure even coverage.

      Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add a thin layer of oil. Once hot, add the breaded chicken in batches, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

        Assemble the Bowls: In each serving bowl, begin with a base of cooked jasmine rice. Add a generous amount of shredded green cabbage and sliced carrots on top.

          Add Chicken: Place the crispy Bang Bang chicken pieces atop the veggies.

            Add Toppings: Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro for freshness.

              Serve: Serve immediately, offering additional Bang Bang sauce on the side for those who like it extra spicy! Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Bowls!
