Directions :

Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and pepper.
Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for about 3–5 minutes, until they are tender yet crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and soy sauce until well combined.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the sauce over everything and stir well to coat evenly.
Prepare the Rice: In serving bowls, place a layer of cooked rice as the base.
Assemble the Bowls: Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice.
Garnish: Top each bowl with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an added touch.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl while it’s fresh and hot!
