Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Gochujang (red pepper paste)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup soya sauce
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp pure sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 crushed garlic cloves
  • 2 chicken breasts cubed
  • 1 medium sweet potato cubed (About 2 cups)
  • 1 small head broccoli chopped (About 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp mayo
  • 1 1/2 tbsp grapeseed oil (or avocado, olive oil)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Toppings radish, cilantro, green onion, avocado, field cucumber, kale, lime, grated carrot, toasted sesame seeds You can also include rice, quinoa or even cauliflower rice if desired!

Instructions

  1. First off, prep the marinade/dressing by mixing together the first 7 ingredients. Chop the chicken in bite size cubes. Measure out 1/2 cup of the marinade and set aside. Pour the remaining marinade in with the chicken. Let it marinate overnight (better flavour and tenderness) or for at least an hour.

  2. Next, preheat oven to 425 F. Peel and chop sweet potato into bite size pieces. Toss in 1 tbsp of grapeseed oil and salt and pepper. Lay out on one side of a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, chop broccoli, toss in 1/2 tbsp grapeseed oil and salt and pepper. When sweet potatoes have baked 12 min, take out of oven and flip. Add chicken and broccoli at this time. Bake in oven another 15min. For the last 2 min turn oven to broil - watch carefully, you don't want to burn it! This helps glaze the chicken a bit more which is all good!

  3. Take the reserved marinade and add mayo and greek yogurt. This becomes your dressing that you can drizzle on top of your bowl when it's all put together.

  4. Prep your toppings. Make sure they're all chopped bite size. Cut the lime in wedges to squeeze lime juice over your finished product.

  5. Once your chicken, broccoli and sweet potatoes are done, you're ready to assemble your bowl. Put a little bit of everything in a bowl. Top with dressing, a squeeze of lime and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
