Instructions
Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Place cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl.
Beat eggs in a second bowl and prepare panko breadcrumbs in a third.
Dredge chicken in cornstarch mixture, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, then panko for three layers. Let excess drain.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
In a bowl, whisk mayonnaise with lime juice, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth.
Assemble bowls with rice, hot chicken, greens, and vegetables. Drizzle with sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Maintain triple-coating layers for optimal crunch
Avoid re-coating if chicken is warm from oven
Use a wire rack instead of paper towels for even oil drainage after frying
Adjust sriracha for spice level
Store uncooked chicken and sauce separately for transport
