Ingredients

For the Casserole

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized cubes
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup jasmine rice*
  • 2 cups chicken broth

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Toppings

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ tbsp vegetable oil
  • chopped green onion optional
  • sesame seeds optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil. Add in the chicken cubes and toss to combine.
  • Whisk together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and flour. Add it to the chicken and toss the cubes to fully coat them in the flour.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add in the chicken pieces and cook for a few minutes until browned on all sides, but not cooked through. Work in batches if needed. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Whisk together the bang bang sauce ingredients in a bowl.
  • Add the rice to a greased casserole dish. Then, pour in the chicken broth and ⅓ cup of the bang bang sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Spread the chicken pieces out over the top of the rice.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the panko breadcrumbs and oil. Sprinkle the mixture over the casserole. Then, continue baking for another 10 minutes until golden brown.
  • Finish with a drizzle of the remaining bang bang sauce and a sprinkle of green onions and sesame seeds. Add extra bang bang sauce if desired before serving for an even creamier texture.

Notes

*Jasmine rice works best for fluffy texture. Rinse it well before adding it to the casserole.
