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.

Sounds like a great recipe! Excited to try it! Maybe a stupid question, but I count macros… what makes the dish so high in carbs?
It’s delicious! It’s the rice and sweet chili sauce that is the highest in carbs. Cauliflower rice would be really good with this! Hope this helps!
Hey I’m loving this recipe but have a question if I’m meal prepping ahead. How does it heat up? Don’t want my tomatoes etc to cook when reheated Thanks in advance
I am so glad you love the recipe! I add sweet red peppers in mine, no tomatoes and heat it all up together. 🙂
