These peanut chicken bowls are a favorite in my kitchen because they are so easy to pull together on a busy weeknight. I love how the creamy sauce ties everything together with the fresh cucumber and protein packed edamame. It is the perfect balance of flavors and textures for a healthy dinner.

For the best results, try to marinate your chicken for at least thirty minutes before grilling. If you have extra time, feel free to add shredded carrots or thinly sliced red cabbage to the salad for even more crunch and color.

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup shelled edamame
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon warm water
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and warm water in a small bowl to make your sauce.

  2. 2

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then grill them over medium heat until they are fully cooked through.

  3. 3

    Let the chicken rest for five minutes before slicing it into strips.

  4. 4

    In a medium bowl, combine the edamame and diced cucumber.

  5. 5

    Divide the cooked rice or quinoa into bowls.

  6. 6

    Top each bowl with the chicken and the edamame cucumber salad.

  7. 7

    Drizzle the peanut sauce over the top and sprinkle with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover chicken and sauce separately in the fridge for up to three days. You can serve these cold for a great lunch the next day, or quickly reheat the chicken if you prefer a warm meal.
