This skillet recipe is so simple and easy. I love recipes with bang bang sauce. I really love it over shrimp. I’m always trying to figure out simple easy recipes for weeknight. This was something so quick and semi-healthy.
Equipment You’ll Need
You’ll obviously use a large skillet for this recipe. I’m always using cast iron. You just can’t beat them. My Staub braiser is my favorite. You’ll also need a sharp kitchen knife for cut up your chicken with and maybe some tongs for tossing and cooking your chicken.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Chicken Breasts:
You’ll need three large chicken breasts.
Brussel Sprouts:
I buy the already halved brussel sprouts but you can cut them in half yourself.
Olive Oil:
I used a tablespoon or two of olive oil to sauté my chicken with.
Seasonings:
For the chicken, you’ll need paprika, garlic powder and salt and pepper.
Bang Bang Sauce:
You’ll need mayonnaise, sweet red chili sauce, siracha hot sauce, some lemon juice, honey and paprika.

Add your brussel sprout to the skillet with some more olive oil. Sprinkle them with salt and sauté until they are browned and cooked.
