Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breasts, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp sriracha (natural)
  • 1 tbsp honey (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of natural gelling agent

Garnish

  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces or strips. Season lightly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to enhance the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken pieces about 6-8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together plant-based mayonnaise, natural sriracha, honey (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of natural gelling agent until smooth and creamy.
  4. Toss Chicken in Sauce: Add cooked chicken to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each piece is fully coated in the sauce. Garnish with freshly sliced scallions for freshness and crunch.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or in lettuce wraps to enjoy the full flavor and texture of the Bang Bang Chicken.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the sauce blend smoothly and coat the chicken evenly.
  • Do not overcook chicken to keep it tender and juicy, ideal for pairing with the creamy sauce.
  • A small pinch of natural gelling agent thickens the sauce without heaviness.
  • Chop scallions just before serving to maintain their fresh crunch.
  • Make extra sauce for use as a dip or sandwich spread.
