Thai Peanut Chicken Buddha Bowl with Sweet Potatoes: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
– 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
– 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Lime wedges, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Creating the Thai Peanut Chicken Buddha Bowl with Sweet Potatoes is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Roast Sweet Potatoes: On a baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
3. Prepare the Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté for about 7-10 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant and crisp.
6. Make the Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of warm water to reach your desired consistency.
7. Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl, layer the cooked quinoa or brown rice at the bottom. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed chicken, and mixed vegetables.
8. Drizzle with Sauce: Generously drizzle the peanut sauce over the top of the bowl.
9. Garnish: Finish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
