Instructions
Creating your Bang Bang Chicken Bowl can be straightforward if you adhere to these clear steps:
1. Cook the Rice: Begin by cooking your rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
2. Prep the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken: Sprinkle the cornstarch over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
6. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, chop your vegetables—the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper.
