Chicken bowl
Instructions
Tips
A great way to add flavour is to marinate the chicken overnight. You can either marinate it in a wet marinade e.g. soy sauce, lime juice, honey and ginger or a dry rub where you mix different spices, for instance ground ginger, cumin, chilli flakes and garlic powder. This will for sure enhance the flavour of the chicken bowl.

Intro
Food bowls are relatively new to the food scene. Inspired by the traditional Hawaiian poké bowl, which means to slice or cut, the main idea is to serve all the ingredients in a – you guessed it – bowl. And while many thought it would be a short-lived social media trend, they have become a simple and versatile go-to for many.
A quick and tasty meal
Who doesn’t love an anything-goes meal that is quick to prepare and bursting with flavour? Inspired by the fish-based poké bowl, chicken bowls are easier to prepare in advance and a good idea is to store your ingredients separately until you’re ready to assemble your meal.
Poké: how Hawaiian food became huge
This now famous Hawaiian dish has a pretty straightforward evolution: its flavours developed as new cultures arrived on the island’s shores. The West Coast of the United States traded salt for salmon. China and Japan added soy sauce and sesame oil. And so the dish evolved into the endless varieties we see today. Its popularity is partly due to social media where its vibrant colours continue to inspire millions of food-posts across the globe.
How to vary your chicken bowl
Bowls are generally an anything-goes type of recipe and your ingredients can be as adventurous (or traditional) as you choose. Trying a different base, or new sauce, will completely transform your dish. Experimenting with different herbs is also a great way to shake up the flavour profile.
