Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chili sauce (adjust for heat)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh green onions, for garnishing
Optional: sliced jalapeños, for an extra kick

Instructions

Step 1: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, making sure they are uniform for even cooking.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, chili sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and set aside.
Step 3: Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Reduce the heat to low and pour the sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken thoroughly.
Step 5: Let the chicken and sauce heat together for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors and ensure everything is warm.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and optional jalapeños for extra spice.
Step 7: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy while warm.

Tips & Variations

For a milder version, reduce the chili sauce or omit the jalapeños.
Try using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter sauce.
Serve over cauliflower rice or steamed veggies to keep it low carb.
Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving for extra brightness.

Storage

Store leftover Bang Bang Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying out the chicken. If the sauce thickens when chilled, stir in a small amount of water or lime juice to loosen it before reheating.
