For the peanut chicken :
- 6 boneless thighs Ferme des Voltigeurs
- 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp of neutral oil
- 2 tbsp of tamari sauce
- 1 tbsp of chili garlic sauce
For the dressing:
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1/4 cup of peanut butter
- 2 tbsp of water
- 2 tbsp of maple syrup
- Salt and pepper
For bowls:
- 4 servings (37.5 g each) of rice vermicelli
- 2 cups chopped lettuce
- 1 cup red cabbage
- 1 sliced avocado
- 1 sliced Lebanese cucumber
- 1 mango, peeled and cut into strips
- 1 green onion, sliced, for garnish
- 1/2 cup fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, and mint), for garnish
- Preheat oven to 400°F, position rack in center and line baking plate with parchment paper or reusable nonstick sheet.
- In a bowl, mix all ingredients for the peanut chicken together. Stir well to coat the chicken with the sauce.
- Place the chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven, roughly chop and set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the rice vermicelli, remove from the heat, then let stand for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients “for the dressing.”
- Top vermicelli bowls with rice, lettuce, cabbage, avocado, cucumber and mango. Add the chicken, then garnish with the green onion and fresh herbs and serve with the dressing.
- These bowls are perfect for using up leftovers from the fridge while creating a fresh, balanced, and flavorful meal.
- For an even tastier bowl, prepare the ingredients ahead of time and store them separately. Add the dressing only when serving: this keeps the vegetables crunchy and highlights the tenderness of the chicken.
