Steps:
- Cook rice in the chicken stock, water, salt and lime zest. I used my rice cooker to do this.
- Pre-heat oven to 425°F.
- Place the chicken in a small baking pan and cover with olive oil and soy sauce. Turn to coat. Bake for 10 minutes, flip the chicken and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is completely cooked through. Set aside and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Toss the vegetables in the olive oil and arrange on a large baking sheet. Bake with the chicken for 20 or so minutes, stirring once half-way through.
- Heat the peanut butter in a microwave-safe dish gently in 2-3 10 second increments. Stir until smooth. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients. Add additional water as needed.
- To assemble lunch bowls:Place ¼ of the rice in a plastic container, top with the vegetables and sliced chicken. Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of the peanut sauce (don't be too stingy!)
- Reheat in the microwave and then sprinkle with peanuts just before serving.
- These bowls will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
