Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup corn starch

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying

4 cups mixed greens (spinach, romaine, arugula)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup green onions, sliced

Sesame seeds for garnish

Bang Bang Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2-3 tbsp sweet chili sauce (adjust to taste)

1 tsp sriracha (or more for extra heat)

1 tsp lime juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

    Breading Setup: Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls. Place corn starch in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper in the third.

      Bread the Chicken: Dredge each piece of chicken in corn starch, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the panko mixture. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

        Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken pieces in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

          Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning and spice level to taste.

            Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, create a bed of mixed greens, then layer on the fried chicken, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices.

              Drizzle with Sauce: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over each bowl and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor.

                Serve: Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful Bang Bang Chicken Bowl warm!
