Bang Bang Chicken & Rice Bowls
This is one of my all time favorite sauces! It is a lightened up version than what you get at the stores so you save on WW points and calories!
I use greek yogurt instead of mayo and mostly sugar free sweet chili sauce. You can use all sugar free but I really enjoy adding a small amount of the regular version to mine!
I also really enjoy mixing in Newmans Own Light Sesame Ginger dressing to my slaw. I warm everything up and mix it all together. It may sound crazy but it is so DELISH!!
Bang Bang Chicken & Rice Bowls
Nevermind my poor food pics here…this turned out DELISH! I love bang bang anything because the sauce is so addicting. I wanted a lightened up non-breaded version so this is what I went with for my lunches!
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
- 1 Rice Cooler
- 2 Large Mixing Bowls
- 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
- 1 Sauce Brush
- 4 Glass Lunch Containers
- 4 Condiment Containers
Ingredients
- 4 cups White Rice (any rice of your choice)
- 4 cups Mixed Cabbage w/ carrots (I used Trader Joes)
- 2 tbsp Newmans Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing (optional)
- 1 Olive Oil Spray (you can use oil too but it will add points/calories)
Bang Bang Chicken
- 1-1/2 lbs Chicken Breast
- 3/4 tbsp Onion Powder
- 3/4 tbsp Paprika
- 3/4 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt (any salt works)
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1-1/2 cups G Hughes Sugar Free Sweet Chili Sauce
- 1/3 cup Sweet Thai Chili Sauce (w/ sugar) optional
- 1-1/2 cups Fage 0% Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 3 tbsp Wholesome Yum Keto Honey Substitute
Instructions
- Cut up your chicken breast in bite size pieces and place in large mixing bowl
- If using EVOO, drizzle on and add your seasoning; a bit at a time while you continuously mix to get all pieces seasoned. Set aside for a few minutes.
- Mix your bang bang sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. I usually use a whisk to get it really mixed up. Spoon out into your 4 condiment containers and refrigerate. Set aside remaining sauce.
- Set air fryer to 400 for 20 minutes
- Once air fryer is heated, add half of your chicken breast pieces, spray with olive oil spray and brush your pieces with some of your bang bang sauce.
- Half way (your fryer should beep at you), mix up your chicken in the basket and brush again.
- At this point, start your rice cooker!
- Add your cabbage to a bowl and mix in the dressing then set aside.
- When your first batch of chicken is cooked, dump into your clean bowl and repeat the above process with your second batch.
- Once all of your chicken is cooked, mix more of your sauce in. (This is optional but it will help with your chicken not drying out later).
- Set out your lunch containers and start with adding your rice (2/3-1 cup cooked each).
- Add your slaw on one side, then your chicken on the other.
- Drizzle with more bang bang sauce!
- I added sweet mini red pepper slices, parsley and white sesame seeds.
