This chicken rice bowl keeps things simple with lean chicken, fresh vegetables and a sensible serving of white rice. Ginger, garlic and lime add flavour without needing a heavy sauce, making it a practical option for lunch or dinner.
Keep the rice portion moderate and use vegetables to fill more of the bowl. This keeps white rice in the meal while creating a more balanced plate with protein, vegetables and carbohydrates.
Combine the soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger and black pepper. Add the chicken and toss until evenly coated. Leave for about 10 minutes if time allows.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6–8 minutes, turning as needed, until browned and fully cooked through.
Prepare the carrot, cucumber, cabbage, broccoli or long beans and tomato. Steam or blanch firmer vegetables until just tender, while keeping the fresh vegetables crisp.
Divide the rice between two bowls. Arrange the chicken and vegetables around the rice.
Top with spring onion and optional sesame seeds or chilli. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy while warm.
