bang bang chicken salad

Dinner
Bang Bang Chicken Salad is delicious, made with tender chunks of breaded chicken baked until golden topped with delicious Bang Bang sauce. I served this over mixed greens and swooned with every bite!

Ingredients

  • olive oil spray, I used my Misto
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 6 tbsp whole wheat or gluten-free Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp plain or gluten-free panko
  • 16 oz 2 large skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 24 1-inch chunks
  • kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups shredded romaine
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 2 1/2 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp scallions, chopped fine plus more for topping
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 1 tsp Sriracha, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
  2. Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs and panko in another.
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.
  4. Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet.
  5. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turn over then cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though.
  6. Meanwhile combine the sauce in a medium bowl. When the chicken is ready, drizzle it over the top and enjoy!!
