Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and drizzle them with olive oil.
Bake the chicken for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before dicing it into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare the bang bang sauce by whisking together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, minced garlic, and lime juice in a bowl. Taste the sauce and adjust the spice level according to your preference.
Combine the diced chicken with half of the bang bang sauce to coat it well in a large mixing bowl.
Divide the cooked rice evenly among serving bowls.
Top each bowl of rice with the coated chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber, edamame, green onions, and cilantro.
Drizzle each bowl with the remaining bang bang sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds for an added crunch.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for better flavor and presentation. Adjust spice levels to your liking.
