  • 2 cups mixed greens (like romaine and arugula)
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup julienned carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Ready to get cooking? Here’s how you bring this salad to life:

  1. Start by prepping your veggies. Wash and chop your greens, cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, and cucumber, and set them aside in a large salad bowl.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in this mixture until they are evenly coated.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  4. For the dressing, in a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred level of heat—you know your family’s tastebuds best!
  5. Combine the crispy chicken with the prepped veggies in the salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss everything together until well coated.
  6. If desired, sprinkle chopped cilantro for a fresh, herby finish.

There you go! A delicious Bang Bang Salad ready to be devoured. It’s a dish that’s as fun to say as it is to eat.
