Ingredients
For the Buddha bowl
- 1 large cooked chicken breast or other leftover cooked chicken eg a whole leg
- ⅓ red pepper
- 1 cup cooked rice - I used a wild rice blend but use as you have/prefer
- 1 large handful greens - I used arugula but again as you prefer
- ¼ cup cooked edamame
For dressing
- 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- ½ tablespoon coconut cream
- ½ tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Slice or shred the cooked chicken. Cut the pepper into thin slices.
- Arrange the bowls by placing each of the chicken, pepper, rice, greens and edamame in a little pile next to each other, using half of each for each bowl.
- Blend together all of the dressing ingredients and add to the bowls, mixing in as you eat.
Notes
I have used coconut cream in the dressing partly as it saves wasting a can (leftover coconut cream will keep well), but if you have a little leftover coconut milk instead, you can also use that - just use around 1 tablespoon coconut milk and then only ½ tablespoon water.
