Deliciously creamy and spicy Bang Bang Chicken, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or special gathering, while keeping carbs in check.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chili sauce (adjust for heat)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh green onions, for garnishing
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños for an extra kick

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring each piece is roughly the same size for even cooking.
  2. Make the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, chili sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended and set aside.
  3. Cook the chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil for cooking. Place the chicken pieces in the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5–7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Add sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir until every piece is thoroughly coated with that creamy blend.
  5. Heat thoroughly: Allow the chicken and sauce to heat together for an additional 2–3 minutes, ensuring everything is warm and the flavors meld.
  6. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and optional sliced jalapeños for an added kick.
  7. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy your Low Carb Bang Bang Chicken warm.

Notes

Don’t overcook the chicken to avoid dryness. You can marinate the chicken in the sauce for added flavor.
