Ingredients
Scale
- For the Golden Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- For the Bowl Base:
- 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- For the Creamy Chili Drizzle:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise for dairy-free)
- 2 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp honey or agave
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- 1. In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
- 3. Prepare the creamy chili drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, sriracha, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. Adjust spice to taste.

Notes
For a spicier drizzle, add extra sriracha or a pinch of cayenne. Make it vegan by using tofu or chickpeas instead of chicken and a dairy-free yogurt.
