This is a really fast and easy Rich Protein Bowl. It is made with few ingredients. The great thing with Bowls is you can use whatever you have. It is a great way to use small leftovers. If you want it totally vegetarian skip the chicken and add for instance roasted, cubed sweet potatoes instead. This is what I had this particular day.
Ingredients:
Bowl:
- 1 cup sweet peas
- 1 cup beans
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa or bulgur
- 200 grams chickenfilés
- 4 dl chickpeas cooked
- 1 dl sour cream
- 1 bag fresh spinach leaves (about 3 handfulls)
Instructions:
Roast the chickpeas
Set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius
Rinse the chickpeas with cold water and pour them on a sheet of parchment paper.
Drizzle the oil over the chickpeas and sprinkle over paprika powder or chili powder.
Roast in the oven for approx. 20 minutes.
Roast the potatoes:
While the chickpeas are in the oven, prepare the other ingredients.
Chicken:
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan with oil and brown the chicken on medium heat for about 2 min on each side until they have a golden brown color.
Place the chicken in a pan in the oven and let them cook for about 15 min.
Cut the filés into thin slices.
Serving:
Plate the rice or bulgur or quinoa first in the bowl, add the roasted chickpeas, peas, chicken and other ingredients in the bowl.
Top with pickles if you have. In a bowl you can really add anything of your liking and what makes it pretty as well.
Herb sauce
If you want to serve with a sauce you can mix Creme Fraiche with thyme (dried), basil (dried), garlic pepper, black pepper and salt. Top with a little chopped spinach.
