If my autocorrect changes bok choy to “boo-toy” one more time, I may be earlier than normal with my 5pm wine alarm. Grilled Chicken Rice Bowl with Boo-Toy just isn’t going to win me any new readers, but if you like bok choy pull up a stool.

This healthy bowl could easily slide itself into my salad category. I ate it hot and cold and both ways tasted wondrous. I’d say hot for dinner and then cold leftovers for lunch the next day would be an acceptable path to follow. I almost went with shrimp instead of chicken but couldn’t find any large enough to satisfy my love for huge shrimp. Am I the only person who could eat shrimp all day long? I love the concept of throwing everything in a bowl though, so I can see a seafood version in the near future, as soon as I find some monster shrimp!

Don’t worry if it looks like you made too much dressing, because you did. Keep it in your fridge and drizzle it over some green leaves for another time. You only need to throw in a little to this bowl so add it gradually. It’s a loosey-goosey type of recipe, you won’t ruin it if you add more or less cashews or use white rice in place of brown so go ahead and switch things up. I won’t get mad, in fact I’ll love you even more for being adventurous.
