Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Rice noodles
  • Bell peppers
  • Carrots
  • Snap peas
  • Mayonnaise
  • Sweet chili sauce
  • Sriracha
  • Greek yogurt (optional for lighter sauce)
  • Lime juice (optional for lighter sauce)
  • Sesame oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Crushed peanuts (optional for garnish)
  • Cilantro (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Start by cooking your rice noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside, drizzling them with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the chicken: While the noodles are cooking, season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing it into strips.
  3. Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, and toss in your bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they’re crisp-tender. You want to keep the vibrant colors and crunchiness!
  4. Make the Bang Bang sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust the sweetness and heat level to your liking. For a lighter version, mix Greek yogurt with sweet chili sauce and a squeeze of lime.
  5. Assemble the bowl: In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, sautéed veggies, and sliced chicken. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top and toss gently to combine, making sure everything is well coated.
  6. Garnish: Serve the noodle bowl in individual bowls, and sprinkle with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and any additional toppings you desire!
