Asian Chicken Bowls

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 lb cured or pulled chicken or cold cut ground or cut into smaller pieces, you can use fresh, but the cooking time will be longer
  • 1 1/2 cup rice I like Basmati the best
  • 2 red onions
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • 1 red chili pepper, medium spicy
  • 1/8 cup frozen basil fresh is great, too, you need 1-1 1/2 cups
  • frozen veggies optional
  • 2 tbsp oil coconut oil works great for this

Sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth or veggie broth
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce it is worth using it
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 tblsp rice or white vinegar

Instructions

  • In a bowl mix together the broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar and the vinegar and set aside.
  • Get the rice ready. While the rice is cooking heat the coconut oil and brown the onions and garlic lightly. Add chili pepper and chicken and also brown lightly. If you add extra veggies it is best to do that before the chicken. Then add the sauce and let it cook down a little. That will make the sauce thicken slightly. As the final step add the basil and let it cook for a couple of minutes. Serve with the rice right away.
