This recipe is full of fresh flavor and tons of fresh veggies! Let’s break these bowls of flavorful goodness down:
- Shredded Chicken
- Chopped green + red cabbage
- Edamame
- Chopped red bell pepper
- Jasmine rice
- Annie’s Organic Asian Sesame Dressing
- Shredded carrots
- Green onion
Veggies for days! Flavorful, fresh, crunchy, crisp veggies. These Asian Chicken Bowls are not only full of flavor, they’re full of color and texture too!
One of the best parts of this recipe is the minimal amount of work required. You can cook the chicken breast or you can use a rotisserie chicken – perfect for those days when you just can’t summon the energy to cook anything! You can buy most of these veggies pre-cut as well.
The Asian Sesame dressing is another great shortcut option – just because we’re making a simple dinner doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice on flavor! Annie’s dressings are all super delicious and many of them are organic + plant-based – including the one I used!
How to Make Asian Chicken Bowls
So, to make these bowls, we’re tossing together all our chopped veggies and cooked chicken with the Asian Sesame Dressing. Add that to a bowl with some rice, and top with green onions, sesame seeds, chopped almonds, and another splash of the dressing.
That’s it! This is really that simple. Three cheers for easy, healthy, yummy meals!
Have you ever seen a meal that was so colorful, healthy, and easy to throw together? This recipe makes 4-6 servings so this works great for a meal prep/non-sad desk lunch type situation, too!
