Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1–2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (natural), adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, freshly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Chicken: Cut boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Lightly season with garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the pieces remain juicy and tender.
  2. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine plant-based mayonnaise, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, natural sriracha sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy with a balanced flavor of heat, sweetness, and tang. Stir in the natural gelling agent to achieve the perfect thickness.
  3. Toss Chicken in Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, immediately add it to the sauce and toss to coat every piece evenly. The warmth of the chicken helps the sauce cling beautifully for a luxuriously flavorful bite.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top to add fresh crunch and a nutty finish. Serve immediately with desired side dishes.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken briefly with a little apple cider vinegar and garlic powder before cooking to enhance tenderness.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity to control the heat level to your preference.
  • Cook chicken in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure a golden crust.
  • Add green onions and sesame seeds at the last moment to keep their freshness and texture.
  • Prepare the Bang Bang sauce ahead of time and chill to deepen flavors before serving.
