  • While the vegetables roast, season the diced chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil and cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, garlic, ginger, and warm water until smooth and creamy.

Notes

Add warm water gradually to the peanut sauce until the desired consistency is reached.Natural peanut butter provides the best flavor for the sauce.These bowls are excellent for meal prep and store well for several days.Swap rice with quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice for different variations.Extra vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or shredded carrots work well in these bowls.
