Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup cornstarch

1 large egg

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup shredded green cabbage

1 carrot, shredded

½ cucumber, thinly sliced

¼ cup chopped scallions

¼ cup fresh cilantro, for garnish

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

      Breading the Chicken:

        - Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with cornstarch, one with the beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and paprika.

          - Dredge each piece of chicken first in cornstarch, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture.

            Cook the Chicken:

              - In a large pan, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the oil in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

                Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce:

                  - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

                    Assemble the Bowls:

                      - In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked jasmine rice. Top with fried chicken, shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and cucumber slices.

                        - Drizzle generously with the Bang Bang sauce and garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro.

                          Serve:

                            - Enjoy immediately while the chicken is crispy and the rice is warm!
