Prep Time:20 minutes Cook Time:20 minutes Total Time:30 minutes Servings: 8 A sweet, spicy, and tangy quinoa bowl with sweet chili chicken, pineapple and plenty of veggies! I have been into one-bowl meals lately (ones that I can make ahead of time are the best) and these sweet chili chicken buddha bowls are a great option! Really the options are endless where you start with a base such as quinoa, rice, noodles, etc, add a protein such as chicken, beef, tofu, beans, add some veggies and/or fruits, a dressing and optional garnishes such as herbs, nuts, cheese, etc. and you have a tasty meal all in one bowl! For these sweet chili chicken bowls I have a base of quinoa to which I add massaged kale, beans sprouts, carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, pineapple and chicken with sweet chili dressing! Yum! That sweet chili dressing goes so magically well with the juicy pineapple and bell peppers creating an amazing meal that is light, healthy and satisfying!
