There is something so satisfying about a dinner where everything comes together in one bowl. These peanut chicken bowls are a personal favorite of mine because they balance fresh ingredients with a rich, savory sauce that makes every bite taste amazing.

My top tip for this recipe is to prep your sauce while the chicken marinates. It gives the flavors a chance to really meld together, plus it makes your weeknight assembly much faster when you are ready to eat.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast, sliced into strips
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon grated ginger
2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
1 cup shelled edamame
1 cup cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Fresh cilantro for garnish

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and lime juice, then toss with the chicken strips and let them sit for ten minutes.
2
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium high heat and cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through.
3
While the chicken cooks, whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and ginger in a small bowl until smooth. Add a splash of warm water if you want to thin it out.
4
Divide your cooked rice or quinoa into bowls.
5
Top each bowl with the grilled chicken, edamame, and cucumber slices.
6
Drizzle the prepared peanut sauce over the top and finish with a sprinkle of peanuts and fresh cilantro.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover sauce in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to one week. If you like extra heat, feel free to add a dash of sriracha to your sauce mixture before serving.
