I had a similar rice bowl on vacation and re-created this lighter version at home. It takes me back to the islands every time I make it. Try grilling the shrimp for more beachy flavor. -Lauren Katz, Ashburn, Virginia

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces teriyaki sauce (Yoshida's sauce)
3 chicken breasts
1 head broccoli, florets only, chopped
1 medium zucchini, diced
2 carrots, shredded
1/4 cup celery, sliced (optional)
1/4 cup red pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1 -2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 cups white rice, cooked

Steps:

  • Place the chicken into a ziploc bag and pour about 1/3 of the bottle of Yoshida's. Squeeze all the air out of the bag, seal, and place on a plate or in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Remove chicken from the fridge and either BBQ or bake (at 425 for about 25 min) until cooked through.
  • After fully cooked, cut up into small cubes (wrap in tin foil to keep warm if needed).
  • In a large skillet, stir fry broccoli, zucchini, carrots, and red pepper (and optional celery) in a little bit of the Yoshida's sauce until all veggies become tender.
  • Pour remaining Yoshida's sauce into a small saucepan. Add ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer on low until ready to serve (stirring often).
  • Serve by layering 1 Celsius of rice in each bowl, 1/4 of the veggies (more or less), 1/4 of the chicken, then about 1/4 Celsius of sauce (more or less) drizzled over the top of each bowl.

Tips:

  • For a vegetarian version of the Island Rice Bowls, omit the chicken and add an extra cup of cooked black beans.
  • If you don't have any fresh mango, you can use frozen mango chunks instead. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • To make the rice bowls more flavorful, use a flavorful rice, such as basmati or jasmine rice.
  • You can also add other toppings to your rice bowls, such as shredded cabbage, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of sauces. A creamy cilantro sauce, a spicy sriracha sauce, or a tangy lime vinaigrette would all be delicious on these rice bowls.

Conclusion:

Island Rice Bowls are a delicious and easy meal that can be tailored to your own tastes. They're perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, and they're also great for meal prep. With so many different ways to customize them, you're sure to find a combination that you love.
