Description

High Protein Dynamite Chicken is a flavorful, easy-to-make dish featuring crispy breaded chicken chunks tossed in a spicy, sweet, and tangy sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a protein-packed snack, this recipe balances heat from sriracha with sweetness from sugar-free ketchup and sweet chili sauce, enhanced by optional crunchy sesame garlic topping and fresh garnishes.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 pound Frozen Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup Light Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Sriracha
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Garlic Crunch (optional)

Garnish (optional)

  • Thinly sliced chives or scallions
  • Squeeze of lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Bake or air fry the frozen lightly breaded chicken breast chunks according to the packaging instructions. For extra crispy chicken, you can cook them a few minutes longer than directed.
  2. Prepare the sauce: While the chicken cooks, mix together the light mayo, sriracha, sugar-free ketchup, sweet chili sauce, and optional sesame garlic crunch in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
  3. Toss chicken in sauce: Once the chicken is cooked and crispy, transfer it to a large bowl and toss thoroughly with the prepared sauce until all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Garnish and serve: Garnish the coated chicken with extra sesame garlic crunch if desired, along with thinly sliced chives or scallions. Add a fresh squeeze of lime juice for brightness and serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular mayonnaise if light mayo is not available.
  • Adjust the sriracha quantity to control the spiciness level according to your taste.
  • The sesame garlic crunch adds delightful texture but is optional.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the breaded chicken chunks and sweet chili sauce are certified gluten-free.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
