Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

      - Dredge each piece in cornstarch, dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with Panko breadcrumbs until fully covered.

        Cook the Chicken:

          - In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

            - Add the breaded chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from skillet and let it rest before slicing.

              Make the Bang Bang Sauce:

                - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust spice level as desired.

                  Assemble the Bowls:

                    - In each serving bowl, add a generous scoop of jasmine rice as the base.

                      - Layer with shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, avocado slices, and sliced green onions.

                        - Top with sliced crispy chicken, and drizzle with Bang Bang sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

                          Serve:

                            - Serve immediately, adjusting sauce and toppings to taste.
