Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Rice noodles
- Bell peppers
- Carrots
- Snap peas
- Broccoli
- Zucchini
- Mayonnaise
- Sweet chili sauce
- Sriracha
- Green onions
- Cilantro
- Salt
- Pepper
- Oil
Instructions
- Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then toss in your vegetables. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are just tender but still crisp.
- Add the cooked chicken and noodles back into the skillet with the veggies. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top and toss everything well until coated.
- Serve the noodle bowl in individual bowls, garnishing with chopped green onions and cilantro for that fresh touch.
