This post is sponsored by Press’d by Spectrum Culinary™ but the thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.

This year lots of us have been cooking more at home and I am always on the lookout for more easy and healthy meals that are big on flavor. These Asian Ground Chicken Rice Bowls are just the thing.

Cooking at home can be overwhelming at times but it's also a great opportunity to expand our kitchen skills and flavor palettes.

I used to live in a city where I had access to all kinds of cuisines and over the years I have learned to recreate many of those dishes so I can enjoy them at home.

I love to try new ingredients and expand on those skills and spending more time at home this year has allowed us the opportunity to do so.

One of my favorites is the Press'd by Spectrum Culinary™ Safflower & Sesame Seed Oil (Stir Fry This Way!).

Here's what you'll need to make it.

• 1 lb. Ground Chicken (may sub ground chicken or beef)
• 2 Tbsp. Press'd by Spectrum Culinary™ Safflower & Sesame Seed Oil (Stir Fry This Way!)
• ¼ tsp. each Kosher Salt and Pepper
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 6 Green Onions (aka scallions)

How To Make Chicken Rice Bowls

Stir fries do require a bit of chopping up front but the great thing about them is that once everything is chopped everything cooks quickly and you can have dinner on the table in no time!

1. The first step is to cut a bell pepper (any color) into small strips.
   Slice 4 cups of Napa cabbage (you can also use red or green cabbage if you like).
2. Heat a wok or skillet to medium-high and add 1 Tbsp. Press'd by Spectrum Culinary™ Safflower & Sesame Seed Oil. 
3. Add the bell peppers and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.

Are Chicken Rice Bowls Healthy?

The great thing about this meal and rice bowls in general is that they're super healthy. It's full of fresh vegetables and bright flavors.

Ground chicken is a healthier alternative but you can certainly sub ground turkey or ground beef if that's what you have on hand.

You can swap out the rice for quinoa, wild rice, or brown rice if you like. I prefer to serve this dish with white rice but any grain you like is just fine.

This meal is also gluten free.

What Flavors Go Well With Ground Chicken?

I love ground chicken because it picks up the flavors of whatever is added to it. This makes ground chicken very versatile.

It picks up the flavors of this Asian inspired sauce wonderfully.

How To Make The Asian Sauce

1. Mince 6 cloves of garlic and chop the bottom portions of 6 green onions into slices. Reserve the green onion tops for garnish.
2. Peel a 1-inch portion of ginger root.
3. Add 4 Tbsp. low-sodium Tamari (or soy sauce if not gluten free), 1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. Sriracha hot sauce, and 1 Tbsp. corn starch to a small bowl.
4. Stir until completely combined using a fork or small whisk.

I use ground turkey (chicken could be used as well) to make everything from Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs to Turkey and Rice Stuffed Peppers to Slow Cooker Turkey Chili.

How Long Does It Take To Cook On The Stove Top?

1. Prepare 1 cup of rice according to package instructions.
2. After the bell peppers have sauteed for a few minutes add 1 lb. of ground chicken along with ¼ tsp. kosher salt and pepper. Break the chicken apart as it cooks and saute for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through.
3. Once the ground chicken is cooked through add the 4 cups of shredded Napa cabbage (it will look like a lot but the cabbage cooks down).
4. Pour the prepared sauce over the top of the chicken and allow to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has cooked down and thickened a bit.

What To Serve With Rice Bowls

Once the rice has finished cooking and the ground chicken and cabbage have finished cooking in the sauce the dish is done!

Serve a big helping of the ground chicken mixture over the freshly cooked rice.

Squeeze some fresh lime over the top of the bowls along with some minced mint and cilantro (or herbs of choice).

The combination of these two herbs adds a pop of flavor and freshness that you just can't beat. You can also add more hot sauce if you like to spice things up.

I love this Safflower & Sesame Seed Oil blend because the flavors are so clean. The sesame provides a hint of nutty flavor without being overwhelming.

The oil provides the perfect base for meals like this Ground Chicken Rice Bowl because it cooks the ingredients evenly. It's great for high heat so it won't burn aromatics like garlic and ginger.

It accentuates the ingredients while not overpowering them.

This oil is not only great to saute on high heat but it also makes an excellent garnish!

How Long Do These Ground Chicken Bowls Last In The Fridge?

Any leftover chicken and rice should last 2-3 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Make sure the dish has cooled completely before transferring to the fridge for storage.
