Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Cornstarch
- Mayonnaise
- Sweet chili sauce
- Sriracha
- Green onions
- Chopped peanuts
- Lettuce
Instructions
- Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, combine cornstarch with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in the cornstarch mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust the spiciness to your preference.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add it to the bowl with the Bang Bang sauce. Toss until all the pieces are well-coated with the sauce.
- To serve, place a generous handful of lettuce on a plate, followed by the sauced chicken. Top with chopped green onions and peanuts for added crunch and flavor.
