Equipment

1 Air Fryer
1 Microwave
2 Large Mixing Bowls
4 Lunch Containers
4 Condiment Containers

Ingredients

1-1/2 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 cups Jasmine Rice
2 cups Colored Shredded Cabbage
1/2 cup Shredded Carrots
4 tbsp Cilantro
2 Limes
Green Onions
1 tbsp Crushed Peanuts

Peanut Sauce

2/3 cup PBfit Powdered Peanut Butter
1/2 cup GHughes Sweet Chili Sauce
1 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
4 tbsp Lite Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Sriracha

Yum Yum Sauce

1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp GHughes Ketchup
1/8 tsp Paprika
1/8 tsp Garlic Powder
1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp Swerve Granulated Sugar
1/2 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
1 tsp Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

Mix your peanut sauce ingredients and set aside.
Slice your chicken breast into bite size pieces.
Preset your air fryer to 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
Mix half of your peanut sauce with the chicken.
Cook half of your batch of chicken in the air fryer for 12 minutes, moving the pieces around half way through when your air fryer beeps.
While your chicken is cooking, microwave your rice. I use Trader Joes frozen jasmine rice. Two packages will give you a bit more than 2 cups.
Slice up your green onions, lime wedges, clip your cilantro and set all aside.
Whisk your Yum Yum sauce ingredients and pour into the condiment containers. Leftover can go into the fridge.
Put your cooked chicken into a clean bowl and make your 2nd batch. This is helpful so your chicken isn't touching.
When all of your chicken is done, pour the rest of your peanut sauce in and mix to coat every bite. If you prefer more sauce, make more and put some on the side!
Assemble your bowls!
