Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - Season the diced chicken breast with salt and pepper.

      - Set up a breading station: place the cornstarch in one bowl, the beaten egg in another, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

        - Dredge each piece of chicken first in cornstarch, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully covered.

          Fry the Chicken:

            - Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

              - Fry the breaded chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

                - Drain on paper towels and set aside.

                  Make the Bang Bang Sauce:

                    - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth. Adjust seasoning and spiciness to taste.

                      Assemble the Bowls:

                        - Start with a base of cooked jasmine rice or quinoa in each bowl.

                          - Top with fried chicken pieces, then add shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, bell pepper, and avocado.

                            - Drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro.

                              Serve:

                                - Squeeze a lime wedge over the top of each bowl for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
