This poke chicken recipe is inspired by the recipe on Chicken.ca where I go often to get recipe inspiration when I want to cook up some chicken.

I tweaked it to accommodate some flavours that my family and I love and we were not disappointed. I loved how their poke chicken recipe incorporated pears into the marinade for the chicken, I don't think I would have thought of that but oh my so yummy.

I like using chicken thighs because not only are they so tender but they are an economical cut so if you're wanting to try alternative cuts or need to be more budget conscious chicken thighs are a great option.

What are Poke Bowls?

Poke bowls originated in Hawaii and were made mostly with fresh fish. This poke bowl with chicken is a delicious alternative for those who don't want seafood. Poke when referring to these delicious poke bowls is actually pronounced POH-keh.Just a little fun fact for you. While similar to a Japanese sushi bowl, poke bowls don't use sushi rice and rarely marinade the chosen meat. Sushi is rarely made with any meat other than fresh fish, while we chose to use chicken for our Poke bowl recipe here. Try something different with your favorite cut of meat! Poke bowls are also full of fresh veggies that are always a good part of a healthy diet.

What do you put in chicken poke bowls?

One of the many reasons we've become enamored with the poke bowl is its versatility. We put rice in the bottom of ours and then topped with our veggies of matchstick carrots, cucumbers, steamed edamame, arugula, spinach and of course the marinated cooked chicken thighs. We then topped it with sriracha mayo for some spiciness and sesame seeds.

You can use whatever vegetables you like, micro greens you bet, lettuce, sure. I have seen poke bowls with avocado and a wide range of veggies so go with what you like. You can have with or without rice or have with quinoa and the list goes on. Remember I said I love the versatility of poke bowls and this is one of the reasons why.
