Express bang bang chicken
"This bang bang chicken is so good that you’ll want it for every meal. When time and energy are not on your side, this weeknight version is the hero you need. Instead of bite-sized pieces, our version uses chicken breast filets coated in the same flavorful sauce. Grab mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili and Sriracha sauces and make this express bang bang chicken in 20 minutes. To take the sauce to the next level, look for Japanese (Kewpie) mayo."
Steps
Step 1/3 — Preparation
Cut chicken breasts horizontally into two filets per breast. Score the surface of the filets in a diamond pattern for more surface area, bigger flavor and faster cooking. In a bowl, season filets with paprika powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
Step 2/3 — Mayonnaise
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha. Slice cucumber into thin slices. For the salad, peel and finely chop ginger. Cut scallion into fine strips. In another small bowl, mix cucumber, ginger, salt, pepper, vinegar, and sugar.
Step 3/3 — Cooking chicken
In a large pan, heat some oil. Place marinated chicken filets with scored sides down and cook for approx. 2–4 min. until golden brown. When you notice it’s starting to cook through, flip them over. Pour the mayonnaise mix over each filet and let it melt. Once the sauce is bubbling the chicken is done. If the sauce is too thick add some water. Serve in a deep bowl with rice with saucy chicken breasts on top. Garnish with cucumber salad and scallions.
