- 2 pieces Chicken Breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)

Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in one bowl. In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha to make your sauce.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Coat each chicken piece in the cornstarch mixture, and fry in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Drain the chicken on paper towels once cooked.
- Prepare the sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha, adjusting Sriracha to preferred spice level.
- Cook your rice according to package instructions while the chicken is frying.
- Assemble your bowl with a scoop of rice at the bottom, topped with crispy chicken, shredded lettuce, diced cucumbers, and shredded carrots.
- Drizzle your prepared sauce over the top, and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate in the spice mix for 30 minutes before frying. Feel free to add other veggies, and if you want it spicier, add more Sriracha.
