Chicken Bowl Recipe Layered with Rice Veggies and Creamy Peanut Sauce
If there’s a food out there that includes peanut sauce I already know I love it. So before I had even made these Chicken, Veggie and Brown Rice Bowls with Peanut Sauce I was already in love but once I tasted them I was totally smitten! They have a few steps but they are a breeze to make (hello rotisserie chicken), so these are perfect for lunch or dinner.
Try them for Meal Prep!
These are also perfect for meal prep if you are into that, I had one bowl then saved the rest for my husband for lunches and he couldn’t be happier.
Ingredients You’ll Need for This Recipe
Brown rice Rotisserie chicken Veggies – sweet potatoes, bell pepper Olive oil Spices – cumin, coriander, cinnamon, S&P Cilantro Peanuts
For the Peanut Sauce
Creamy peanut butter Honey Lime Soy sauce Fresh garlic and ginger Sriracha
Use Instant Rice or Quinoa for a Quicker Option
The only slow part of this recipe is that 50 minute brown rice cook time. Feel free to use leftover brown rice or substitute instant brown rice or quinoa for a quicker option, then you should be able to have this meal ready in about 30 minutes.
Can I Use Cooked Chicken Breasts or Thighs?
To keep this meal simple I decided to go with rotisserie chicken. You can cook your own chicken, preferably bone-in breasts for more flavor or chicken thighs. Or grilled chicken breasts would be another great option.
How to Make Chicken Bowls
Cook rice according package instructions. Preheat oven an grease baking sheet. Toss potatoes with oil and spices on baking sheet. Place potatoes in a mound on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and toss, spread even. Roast until tender, tossing once halfway. Mix all peanut sauce ingredients in a bowl. In serving bowls layer rice, chicken sweet potatoes, bell pepper, cilantro and peanut sauce
A Meal in One with all the Toppings
I don’t recommend skimping out on any of the veggie and topping ingredients, each one really does just adds a delicious flavor and texture and each ingredient together is what really makes these bowls sing! Then don’t be shy with the peanut sauce because we all know that’s the best part!
