Chicken Poke Bowls


Chicken Poke Bowls

This is such a yummy dinner and is pretty quick to whip up! There are a few bits and pieces to put together (it's no "one-pan bake"), but it's so worth it.


Everyone in the house has a variation of what's pictured; the 1 year old has just chicken, some sauce, rice and a little avo, the two middle boys have the same but with grated carrot and the eldest has the whole shabang!


This is one of my favourite ones to do where the kids can see us eating different things, and try them if they feel like it. A lot of my meals are "all in one" because it's just been easier. But now everyone's a bit older, we enjoy more meals like this.



Ingredients:

For the teriyaki sauce:

  • 1/4 cup tamari sauce

  • 2tbsp coconut sugar

  • 1tbsp water

  • 1tbsp olive oil

  • 1 clove of garlic, minced

  • 1-2tsp fresh grated ginger


For the rest of the meal:

  • 1kg chicken thighs

  • 1/2 head cauliflower, blitzed in a food processor for cauli rice

  • 2 cups of cooked rice (your choice)

  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted

  • 2 carrots, grated

  • 4 spring onions (1 bunch), sliced

  • 1 cup shelled, frozen edamame beans

  • 1/2 cabbage (purple or white)

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • lots of fresh coriander, optional



Method:
  • Preheat oven to 200celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper. Spread the chicken thighs out in one layer on the tray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for about 20 minutes or until juices run clear.

  • While the chicken is baking, mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.

  • Cook your rice and/or make your cauliflower rice

  • Toast your sesame seeds in a pan until brown, watch as they burn quite quickly! Set aside.

  • In a small pot, bring some water to boil and follow directions on the edamame packet to 'cook' your edamame beans. They basically just need defrosting!

  • Grate your carrots, finely chop your cabbage and spring onions, slice the avocado.

  • Now assemble your bowl; start with your rice of choice then add whatever toppings you like and finish with a good drizzle of your teriyaki sauce - yum!



Note: What isn't pictured is lots of coriander or kewpie mayo. I don't think it needs it, I add miso paste to my mayo recipe here, and it's almost like a kewpie mayo if you wanted one. My coriander had gone to seed, so we had run out of coriander when I'd taken this photo - tragedy!
