Banza Chicken Bowls with Calabrian Chili Sauce

Name: Banza Chicken Bowls with Calabrian Chili Sauce
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 1 English cucumber, cut into chunks (about 1 1/2 cups); 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut into halves (about 1 1/2 cups); a small chunk of red onion, thinly sliced on a mandoline; a small bundle of parsley, chopped (about 1/4 cup); 1 tablespoon white vinegar; 2 tablespoons olive oil; salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; 1/4 cup mayo; 1/4 cup Greek yogurt; 2-3 individual Calabrian chiles, stems discarded, s, mashed / minced (I use a jarred variety); 1 clove garlic, grated; a splash of castelvetrano olive brine (optional, see notes); salt to taste; For protein, I use a batch of this ridiculously good Air Fryer Chicken(For a vegetarian alternative, this Air Fryer Tofu works beautifully too!); For a carb, I love the Banza Rice Mix for this - it doesn’t really make sense but I enjoyed the tomato chipotle variety!

This bowl has it all! The crunch of the tomato cucumber salad, the thin slips of bitey red onion, the golden crisped air fryer chicken cut into tender little strips, a big pile of perfectly chewy Banza, and a dollop of tangy calabrian chile sauce on top.
