Perfectly baked to juicy perfection and garnished with fresh parsley, this recipe is ideal for an easy weeknight dinner served over nutritious brown rice.

  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ½ pounds total)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Sauce and Garnishes

  • 1 ½ cups (336 g) Bang Bang sauce, divided
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooked brown rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Slice each breast in half horizontally to form 6 thinner cutlets that will cook evenly and quickly.
  3. Arrange and season chicken: Lay the chicken cutlets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken pieces, rubbing it on both sides to coat well.
  4. Mix and apply seasoning: In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the chicken cutlets to infuse flavor.
  5. Add Bang Bang sauce: Spoon 1 cup of Bang Bang sauce over the chicken, spreading it evenly to cover each piece. Reserve the remaining ½ cup of sauce for serving alongside the finished dish.
  6. Bake the chicken: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF (75ºC).
  7. Garnish the chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.
  8. Serve: Serve the Bang Bang Chicken hot over cooked brown rice, drizzling the reserved Bang Bang sauce over the top to add extra flavor and spice.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken cutlets are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness to avoid overcooking.
  • Bang Bang sauce can typically be found in the Asian or condiment aisle or made from scratch using mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha.
  • For a lighter version, opt for low-fat ingredients or less sauce as desired.
  • Pair with steamed or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
