A delicious and spicy chicken rice bowl topped with a creamy yum yum sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the white rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well with the spice mixture.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden-brown color. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken is resting, prepare the yum yum sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl. Adjust the sriracha to your desired spice level.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and chopped green onions.
- Drizzle the yum yum sauce generously over each bowl. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
- Add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra crunch and nutrition.
