Chicken Ginger Mango Rice Bowl

February 19, 2018 By //  by Brie OCD 1 Comment

chicken ginger mango rice bowl newThis Ginger Mango Rice recipe was inspired by the Thug Kitchen Cookbook.  This cookbook is hysterical and a hoot to read even if you aren’t planning on cooking.

PROTEIN PACKED!

The original recipe was listed as a side but as we know by now… I need my protein! I added chicken to make it a complete meal packed with 30g of protein per serving. I also altered some of the ingredients to my taste preference. This dish is gluten-free and can easily be made vegetarian by just omitting the chicken!

NUTRITION

Per serving this recipe has 450 calories, 12g fat, 55g carbs (rice, mango and beans!) and 30g of protein. If you want to cut some of the carbs you could use half of the rice and half of the mango.  (however you might not have as many portions after that.) It is also naturally gluten-free…. lets go!!

WORTH IT!

I am going to warn you, this recipe takes a hot minute to prepare BUT it is totally worth it in the end. The flavor profiles are so different from any of the other recipes I make and I truly enjoy branching out every now and again to switch up the routine.

MANGO AND GINGER DELIGHT!

The mango makes this dish so fresh and the ginger just adds a hint of character. I significantly cut the ginger that the original recipe called for because it was a bit too strong (IMO) but I definitely recommend keeping it in. If you are a ginger freak then by all means add another tbsp to the recipe!

I hope you enjoy the flavors that this dish brings to the table. I certainly did!
