Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)

Peanut Dressing

1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

to taste Chopped green onions
to taste Crushed peanuts

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the sweet potatoes with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and slice.
Prepare the creamy peanut dressing by whisking together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, and a little water to thin, if needed.

Assembly

Assemble the bowls: place quinoa on the bottom, add roasted sweet potatoes, chicken, and mixed vegetables.
Drizzle with peanut dressing.
Garnish with chopped green onions and crushed peanuts before serving.

Notes

Store any leftover Peanut Chicken Protein Bowls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If desired, store the dressing separately to keep ingredients fresh.
