Teriyaki Chicken Crispy Rice Bowls

SO good. via kalejunkie on instagram 

 Makes 4 meal salads or 6-8 smaller salads⁣

Crispy Rice⁣
2 cups cooked rice, cooled (I used jasmine)⁣
1 tb sesame oil⁣
2 tb teriyaki sauce/marinade (I used San-J GF Teriyaki sauce/marinade)⁣

Chicken⁣
1 rotisserie chicken⁣
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce/marinade (same as above)⁣

Salad⁣
5 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced (or 1 large English cucumber)⁣
1/2 cup red cabbage, finely sliced⁣
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped⁣
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped⁣
1 red bell pepper, diced small⁣
1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped⁣

Creamy Sesame Ginger Dressing⁣
1/4 cup olive oil⁣
3 tb toasted sesame oil⁣
3 tb soy sauce (or sub coconut aminos)⁣
3 tb rice vinegar⁣
2 tb maple syrup⁣
2 tb cashew butter⁣
2 cloves garlic, mashed⁣
1 tb fresh ginger, minced⁣

First, prepare the crispy rice topping. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add cooked and cooled rice to the baking sheet. Toss well with the sesame oil and teriyaki sauce and spread into an even layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, tossing half way through (just watch to make sure it doesn’t burn). Next, remove the bones from the rotisserie chicken and shred into small pieces. Toss with teriyaki sauce and set aside. Next, make the dressing. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend for about 1 minute until smooth. Finally, chop/slice all of the ingredients for the salad and add to a large bowl. Add the shredded chicken and crispy rice on top. Pour dressing over the salad. Toss and enjoy! Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.⁣
