Hawaiian Inspired Chicken Poke Bowl
Poke bowls are a delicious and customizable meal, perfect for a light and refreshing dinner. This Hawaiian-inspired version swaps out the traditional raw fish for tender, flavorful chicken. Packed with fresh vegetables, it’s a healthy and satisfying dish that captures the essence of the islands.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice
- 1/2 cup diced pineapple
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup edamame
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Cooking Guide:
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and pineapple juice. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Cook the chicken: Grill, pan-fry, or bake the marinated chicken until cooked through and slightly browned. Let cool before using.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked sushi rice among bowls. Top with grilled chicken, pineapple, cucumber, red onion, green onions, and edamame.
- Drizzle and garnish: Drizzle any remaining marinade over the bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar to the marinade.
- To make it spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of Sriracha sauce.
- For a crunchier texture, add chopped avocado or toasted cashews to the bowls.
- You can customize your poke bowl with your favorite vegetables and toppings. Get creative!
