Chicken Nourish Bowl 🥗✨
A colourful, protein-rich bowl packed with fibre, healthy carbohydrates and greens, perfect for supporting steady energy, muscle health and keeping you satisfied through the day.
Serves 4
Ingredients
For the bowls:
* 170 g quinoa / 1 cup dry quinoa
* 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
* 4 eggs
* 450 g extra-lean chicken mince / 1 lb ground chicken
* 2 tbsp fresh coriander/cilantro, finely chopped
* 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
* 2 tsp fish sauce
* Juice and zest of ½ lime
* 2 tbsp oat flour
* Sea salt and black pepper
* 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
* 150 g baby spinach / around 5 oz
Method
Cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions and set aside.
Steam or roast the sweet potato until soft and tender.
Meanwhile, boil the eggs for around 6–8 minutes, depending on how you like the yolks. Cool in cold water, peel and halve.
For the meatballs, mix the chicken mince with the coriander, ginger, fish sauce, lime juice and zest, oat flour, salt and pepper.
Shape into small meatballs and place on a lined baking tray. Bake at 220°C / 425°F for approximately 16–18 minutes, or until cooked through.
Lightly sauté the spinach in the olive oil for 2–3 minutes.
Divide the quinoa between four bowls and add the sweet potato, spinach, chicken meatballs and egg. Finish with an extra squeeze of fresh lime if you like. 🌿
This is exactly the kind of meal I love for women over 40 — plenty of protein, colourful plants and satisfying whole-food carbohydrates without unnecessary added sugar.
