Simple Asian Chicken Bowls
These easy chicken bowls are packed with fresh veggies and a savory, creamy sauce that tastes just like your favorite takeout.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing better than a homemade bowl that comes together in less than thirty minutes. The mix of charred chicken and crisp, pickled vegetables creates a wonderful balance of textures that my whole family loves.
My biggest tip is to make sure your pan is good and hot before adding the chicken. Getting that nice golden sear really brings out the flavor of the ginger and soy sauce marinade.
