Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup edamame (shelled)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • Poke sauce or spicy mayo for topping

Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken:
    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Pour the marinade over chicken breasts in a shallow dish or ziplock bag. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
  • Grill the Chicken:
    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  • Prepare the Rice:
    Cook white or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and divide into serving bowls.
  • Assemble the Bowls:
    Top each bowl of rice with grilled chicken slices, diced avocado, cucumber slices, shredded carrots, edamame, and chopped green onions.
  • Add the Toppings:
    Sprinkle sesame seeds over the bowls and drizzle with poke sauce or spicy mayo. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Meal Prep Tip: Store all components separately in the fridge for up to 3 days and assemble fresh bowls as needed.
  • Substitutions: Swap chicken with tofu, shrimp, or salmon for variety. Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
  • Customizable Toppings: Add mango chunks, radishes, or pickled ginger for extra flavor.
