Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup cornstarch

2 large eggs

1 cup panko bread crumbs

1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and lettuce)

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying

Bang Bang Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.

    Breading Station: Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place cornstarch. In the second dish, whisk the eggs. In the third dish, place panko bread crumbs.

      Coat the Chicken: Dredge each piece of chicken in cornstarch, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it with panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

        Fry the Chicken: Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully add the breaded chicken pieces. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

          Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar until smooth. Adjust the heat level if desired.

            Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the mixed greens, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and avocado. Top with the crispy fried chicken pieces.

              Drizzle and Garnish: Generously drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and cilantro. Finish with sesame seeds for an extra crunch.

                Serve: Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl right away while the chicken is still warm and crispy!
