6 of the Best 5 Ingredient Chicken Bowl Recipes

May 12, 2022 · Leave a Comment

When you need an easy dinner on the table – and you need it quickly – a 5 ingredient chicken bowl is the answer!  Here are 6 of the best 5 ingredient chicken bowl recipes that you can easily have on the table in 30 minutes or less!

Cooking with chicken is super easy to create a delicious meal with ingredients you probably already have at home.  If you need dinner super quickly, you can use a rotisserie chicken in place of chicken breasts for any of these recipes!
jerk chicken and rice bowls

  • This bowl has bold flavors that will give you Caribbean vibes any night of the week.  It’s easiest to use a pre-made/store-bought jerk marinade (which is super delicious) but you could, of course, make your own at home.  And two more time-saving tips: buy a bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables and use 90 second microwavable rice!  I love to use a quick 90 second rice to make it even easier.  And, the best thing is that there are only 5 ingredients and even one of those is optional!
Curry chicken over coconut cauliflower rice

  • This bowl is extra fun because it doesn’t actually use real rice!  Did you know you could substitute cauliflower for real rice and it provides the same great texture?  Head to the post to learn two great ways to make cauliflower rice and you’ll never look back!
Cherry chicken with couscous

  • Unique flavors come together in this dish for a fun take on chicken that you may have never tried!  Plus, the very best part is that you can make this recipe via slow cooker, stovetop or Instant Pot – so much flexibility!
BBQ chicken and quinoa bowls

  • This bowl is one in a series of great quinoa and chicken bowls (you can read about them all here), but you only need 5 ingredients to get this dish ready in a flash.  Use fresh or frozen corn to make this dish even easier!
Greek chicken and rice bowls

  • Simple flavors that are great for lunch or dinner.  This bowl brings all of your favorite Greek flavors into one great dish.  You can certainly make everything from scratch or, to save on time, you can buy almost everything already pre-made and all you need to do is assemble!
Hawaiian chicken and rice bowls

  • Take a trip to Hawaii all from the comfort of your kitchen or dining room!  You’ll get perfectly combined savory and sweet flavors to create a tropical bite that will have coming back for more and more.  And, as always, you can use 90-second instant rice to have this dinner ready to no time at all.
To wrap things up, we wanted to share two more great recipes you could try if you’re looking for more of a sandwich, instead of a chicken bowl.  Two more great lunches or dinners!
  • Chicken caesar pita wrap
  • Pesto chicken salad bagel sandwich
And yes, both are only 5 ingredients!
