    8.8-ounce

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine chicken pieces, 1 tablespoon Sriracha and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in a medium bowl; stir until well coated. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons flour; stir until combined.

    Step 1
  2. 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken; cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until golden brown on the other side, 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; stir in ¾ cup broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

    Step 2
  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine chopped scallions, cream cheese pieces, ¼ cup chili sauce, the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon each onion powder and vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons Sriracha; stir until well blended. Add 6 cups broccoli, 1 package rice and the chicken mixture; stir until thoroughly combined.

    Step 3
  4. 4

    In a small bowl, stir together ⅓ cup panko and the remaining 1½ teaspoons oil.

  5. 5

    Transfer the chicken mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; spread in an even layer. Sprinkle with the panko mixture. Bake until the broccoli is tender, the sauce has thickened slightly and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of chicken registers 165°F, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving; garnish with scallions, if desired.

Why This Casserole Hits the Spot

It cleverly combines tender, juicy chicken, crisp broccoli, and nutty brown rice, ensuring a complete and filling meal with every scoop. The harmonious blend of creamy, spicy-sweet sauce with wholesome ingredients creates a memorable experience.

What to Expect from Your Bang Bang Casserole

Prepare for a delightful medley of textures and tastes that will utterly satisfy your palate. You'll find succulent pieces of boneless, skinless chicken thighs coated in a rich, creamy, and vibrant sauce, offering that signature balance of sweet heat from sriracha, sweet chili sauce, and mayonnaise. This luxurious sauce, enhanced with garlic and onion powder, perfectly complements the dish. Paired with perfectly crisp, bright green broccoli florets and the wholesome, satisfying chew of precooked brown rice, each bite is both incredibly satisfying and full of dynamic flavor.

Customization & Serving Ideas

While this recipe provides a specific flavor profile, you can easily tailor the heat to your preference. Feel free to adjust the amount of sriracha for more or less kick, or add extra sweet chili sauce for a sweeter profile if you prefer. This Bang Bang Chicken Casserole is a fantastic choice for a casual dinner that feels special without requiring extensive effort. It stands beautifully on its own as a complete meal for 6 servings, but a simple side salad would offer a refreshing, lighter contrast to its rich and robust flavors.
