    Today my friend Michele is doing me a huge favor and guest posting for me while I am on vacation.  Her blog is Flavor Mosaic, where she shares creative recipes with a mosaic of flavors. Her recipes are easy, budget-friendly, family-friendly, made from scratch, sometimes healthy, sometimes spicy, but always flavorful! Thank you Michele for sharing this amazing Bang Bang Chicken with Quiona with my readers and read on for Michele's post and recipe!
    Bang Bang Chicken with Quinoa

    Today I'm sharing with you my version of Bang Bang Chicken with Quinoa, a quick and easy, healthy chicken stir-fry with an amazing sweet and
    spicy bang bang sauce made with Sriracha, Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, honey, vinegar, and mayonnaise. You could also use Greek yogurt instead of the
    mayonnaise. It is served over high protein, gluten-free quinoa instead of rice. If you have never tried quinoa, I highly recommend it.  You cook it
    the same way you cook rice, yet it has more protein than rice and no gluten. Give it a try.

    Bang Bang Chicken with Quinoa

    This bang bang sauce was so awesome that I ate about a third of it before adding it to the recipe and had to go back and make some more for the recipe. So you might want to make extra sauce for yourself.  You have no idea how hard it was to wait to eat this Bang Bang Chicken while I took photos. This photos almost did not get taken. Luckily I had barely enough willpower to get these photos. However, the minute I saw the photos had turned out, Mr. Flavor Mosaic and I dove into this dish. There were no leftovers.

    Bang Bang Chicken with Quinoa

    I can't tell you if this sauce tastes like the bang bang sauce at Bonefish Grill because I have never been there. However, the nice thing is, since you are making this from scratch, you can adjust the level of spiciness and sweetness to your preference. If you want it spicier add more Sriracha....less spicy, then less Sriracha. If you want it sweeter, add more honey. Not so sweet, use less honey.
    However, I can tell you that you will have a delicious, healthy, quick and easy complete dinner on the table in 30 minutes. Don't expect leftovers. If you want leftovers, I recommend making extra.
    Go ahead and make this recipe, and let me know how you liked it.

    I want to thank Shelby for this opportunity to guest post. It has been my pleasure to bring you a little taste of Flavor Mosaic!

    Ingredients
    • 1 cup dry Quinoa
    • ½ cup mayonnaise
    • ¼ cup Sriacha (adjust to your preferred spice level)
    • ⅓ cup Thai Sweet Red Chili Sauce
    • 2 tablespoons honey (increase or decrease depending on how sweet you like)

      Terrific example of subbing Greek Yogurt for fat-laden mayo (don't get me wrong - I love mayo!) I love the incorporation of quinoa with chicken here. The photos and post as a whole are very appealing; will be stumbling and pinning this one!
