Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and soy sauce until smooth.
Assembly
  1. Return cooked chicken to the skillet, pour sauce over, and mix until everything is evenly coated.
  2. Divide cooked rice into serving bowls.
  3. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice.
  4. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy your meal!

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option, or use quinoa instead of rice for added nutrients. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
