Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil. Place on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The chicken should be golden on the edges.
  4. Remove chicken from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Then dice into bite-sized pieces.
  5. While chicken is cooking, prepare the bang bang sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, minced garlic, and lime juice in a small bowl.
  6. Taste-test the sauce with a veggie stick to check spice level and adjust if needed.
  7. Transfer diced chicken to a large bowl and add half of the bang bang sauce. Toss until chicken is coated. Reserve remaining sauce.
  8. Divide cooked rice among 4 bowls.
  9. Top each bowl with the bang bang chicken, shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, edamame, green onions, and cilantro.
  10. Drizzle with remaining bang bang sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
