Spring Chicken Bowls #ChickenDotCa

Spring has sprung here in Northern BC and that has me thinking about fresh, spring ingredients: carrots, asparagus, peppers. Let me tell you, this Spring Chicken Bowl delivers.

When I was brainstorming this recipe I did a quick google search on what were spring vegetables (I’m garden illiterate) and I was pleased to see that actual vegetables I enjoy eating were listed. I knew all of the vegetables went well with chicken as we pair them often during BBQ season, but I needed a dressing. I thought back to my tried and true recipes: Mediterranean vinaigrette, homemade greek vinaigrette, and dijon vinaigrette. I used the base of the dijon vinaigrette but used lemon juice instead of red wine vinegar and sweetened it with honey. It’s my idea of a spring dressing for these chicken bowls.

If you’re on the hunt for fresh recipes for this week’s meal plan you have to check out Chicken.ca. Chicken.ca is such a great resource for tasty recipes (like this Garlicky Greek Chicken) and can serve as inspiration for original dishes. If you have a question about food safety and how-tos, chicken.ca has a whole section on that. They even have chicken cooking time chart.

Chicken.ca is the website for the Chicken Farmers of Canada. As I said, you can find recipes, food safety tips, myth busters and if you have any questions you are always free to ask them anything. It is important to look for the above logo when you purchase chicken at the store to ensure that it is raised by a Canadian Farmer. Keeping chicken Canadian not only helps out our brothers and sisters, but it stimulates our economy.

Spring Chicken Bowls

These Spring Chicken Bowls are so good. I don’t mean to toot my own horn here, but it’s hard to believe they’re healthy. The Honey Dijon Vinaigrette tastes creamy, but it’s dairy free.
