Ingredients
- 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- to taste pepper
- to taste onion powder
- as needed avocado oil spray
- as needed cup jasmine rice
- as desired shredded red cabbage
- as desired sliced green onions
Bang Bang Sauce
- 3/4 cup avocado mayo
- 2 tbsp thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tsp chili flakes
Cucumber Carrot Salad
- 4 carrots
- 4 mini cucumbers
- 2 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 tbsp black sesame seeds

Instructions
- 1Prepare the Bang Bang sauce: whisk together avocado mayo, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, seasoned rice vinegar, and chili flakes until smooth.
- 2Make the cucumber carrot salad: combine mini carrots, mini cucumbers, 2 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar, 2 tbsp honey, sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, salt, and garlic powder; mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- 3Dice the chicken thighs and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with soy sauce and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; toss until evenly coated.
- 4Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat and spray with avocado oil. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook without stirring for 5–7 minutes to develop a crust. Stir, then continue cooking, turning every few minutes, until the thickest piece reaches an internal temperature of 175–185°F (80–185°F), about 8–10 minutes total.
- 5Turn off the heat and stir in a few tablespoons of the Bang Bang sauce until the chicken is well coated.
- 6Assemble each bowl: place a serving of jasmine rice at the bottom, top with the coated chicken, a scoop of cucumber carrot salad, shredded red cabbage, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
