Ingredients
  

For the bowl
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (about 1 cup uncooked)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (use full fat for best texture)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste; start with less if you prefer mild)
  • 1 cup fresh veggies (bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots work well, sliced or chopped)
  • to taste Salt and black pepper
  • green onions sliced for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook jasmine rice according to package directions, fluff with a fork, and keep warm.
  2. Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust sriracha for more or less heat.
  3. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken.
  2. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, flipping once, until the thickest part reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
  3. Remove the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  4. Slice against the grain into even pieces about 1/4-inch thick.
Assembly
  1. Spoon warm jasmine rice into bowls, arrange sliced chicken atop the rice, and add your fresh veggies.
  2. Drizzle the spicy mayo over each bowl and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can swap jasmine rice for brown rice (add longer cooking time) or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option. Use Greek yogurt mixed with a little mayo to lighten the sauce for a tangier flavor.
