Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
- 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Honey Lime Dressing
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice and zest, soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes until well combined to create a bright and flavorful dressing.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook them until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. While cooking, drizzle half of the honey lime dressing over the chicken to glaze and infuse it with tangy sweetness.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked jasmine or brown rice evenly into serving bowls. Arrange the cooked chicken over the rice, then add the diced mango, avocado, shredded red cabbage, and shredded carrots to each bowl for a colorful and textured meal.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the remaining honey lime dressing over the assembled bowls to add extra zing and moisture. Garnish with fresh cilantro or thinly sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors.
Notes
- Use brown rice for a nuttier flavor and added fiber.
- Adjust chili flakes according to your preferred spice level or omit for a milder taste.
- For extra freshness, garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions.
- Leftover honey lime dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Can be served warm or cold, making it great for meal prep.
