Korean Spicy Chicken Rice Bowls Recipe
Meghan Yager | Cake 'n KnifeKorean Spicy Chicken Rice Bowls are the global healthy meal that is made for two people! Make them for lunch or dinner, either way you’ll be guaranteed for a spicy flavor that you won’t be able to resist.
There just aren’t enough meals with global flavors designed for two people in the world, am I right?
Lately, I’ve been feeling so bored with our normal dinner routine. We’ve gotten into a bit of a rut and I am continually cooking the same recipe week after week.
Funny enough, the Man would be totally fine with this, but for me, I NEED VARIETY. I mean, I love food after all. Food is what I think about all day so I can’t just eat the same thing all the time.
Do you ever get bored with making the same thing again and again? I feel like this is something everyone can relate to.
These Korean spicy chicken rice bowls are my solution to the problem. OMG are they oh so tasty!
The chicken is marinated for 2 hours, but you can totally leave them in the fridge for 24 hours if you really want to amp up the flavor of the poultry. It’s spicy, slightly sweet, and tangy.
Then you throw the chicken on the grill and that marinade becomes this kind of sticky sauce on the outside.
You combine all this with rice, creamy avocado, charred red bell pepper, and a burst of cherry tomatoes… It’s a safe bet that you’ll never get tired of making this week after week!
Now let’s talk TIME. This recipe is ready to hit the table in less than 30 minutes of active cooking time. The marinade does take some time to soak in, but if you are strapped for time, just make it the night before!
That way, all you have to do is fire up the grill when you are ready to cook. In 20 minutes, you’ll have these rice bowls in hand as you do a happy dance!
