  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes 1 tsp if you like things more spicy
  • 1 lime juice and zest

Chicken Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to season chicken

Bowl Ingredients

  • 2 cups cucumber, chopped into bite size pieces and pat dry
  • 1.5 cups shredded carrots

  • Heat the oil on medium high heat in a oven safe pan.
  • Sear the chicken on both sides and place the pan into the oven to cook until chicken is 165°F. Then remove from oven and put aside.
  • While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce.
  • In a small pot, heat the oil on medium heat.
  • Add the onion and garlic until well caramelized and lightly browned. Take care not to burn this.
  • Add the remaining sauce ingredients and allow to simmer on low for 3-4 minutes.
  • Set sauce aside to cool. Once cool. Divide the sauce into 4 portions in small containers. You want to store the sauce separately from your chicken and veggies.
