Instructions

Step 1- Prepare the Rice
Cook 2 cups of rice according to the package instructions. Fluffy, perfectly cooked rice serves as the base for this dish, soaking up all the sticky sauce for a delightful bite. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.
Step 2– Steam the Broccoli
Steam 2 small heads of chopped broccoli until fork-tender. This can be done in the microwave or on the stovetop. The broccoli’s mild flavor and bright green color balances the dish’s richness.
Step 3– Season and Air Fry the Chicken
Cut 3 large chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper, and the spice blend of chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and oregano. Lay the seasoned chicken pieces flat in an air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 12 minutes or until cooked through and lightly crisp outside.
Step 4- Assemble the Bowls
Layer the cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with steamed broccoli, air-fried chicken, and a generous drizzle of the sticky sauce.
Step 5- Prepare the Spicy Mayo
In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup mayo, 1 tablespoon sriracha, and 2–3 tablespoons of water until smooth. Drizzle this over the bowls for an extra layer of creamy heat.
Step 6– Add the Finishing Touches
Sprinkle sesame seeds over each bowl for texture and garnish with extra sriracha if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
