Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Sauté broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrots for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce until smooth.
Return chicken to the skillet and pour sauce over the chicken and veggies. Stir gently and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
To serve, scoop rice onto plates, top with chicken and veggies, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
