Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice and zest, soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and optional chili flakes until well combined and smooth.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through. While cooking, drizzle half of the honey lime dressing over the chicken to enhance the flavor and glaze.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked jasmine or brown rice evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked chicken, diced mango, diced avocado, shredded red cabbage, and shredded carrots to create a colorful and nutritious meal.
  4. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the remaining honey lime dressing over the assembled bowls for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors at their best.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the chili flakes in the dressing or add fresh chopped jalapeño.
  • Use brown rice for a higher fiber and more nutritious option, or jasmine rice for a lighter texture and aroma.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked fully to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • To save time, prepare the honey lime dressing and vegetables ahead of time.
  • Garnishing with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions adds brightness and visual appeal.
