This chicken poke bowl 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 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.
Healthy Chicken Poke Bowl Recipe
I’ve already mentioned that this is a healthier recipe but let me assure you that doesn’t mean it’s not delicious, quite the opposite. While you’ve got fresh ingredients in the vegetables and it’s packed with protein and nutrients this is one tasty recipe.
Don’t forget to pin this recipe.
In case you didn’t know 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.
What do you put in a chicken poke bowl?
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.

Can I make my poke bowl spicier?
You bet you can. You can add more sriracha mayo or if you really want to kick it up several spicy notches then you can toss in chopped chili peppers or jalapeños and you get the idea.
Use quality chicken
If you’ve been following Powered by Mom for a while then you’ve seen me say this before, I only buy chicken with the Raised by a Canadian farmer logo like the one below. I know when I buy chicken with that logo that it’s top quality, no hormones, ethical treatment of the chickens and the majority of the farms are small family-owned farms.
We believe in high ethical standards for raising the chickens and this logo means they have stringent care standards. We know we are getting quality chicken and the majority of these Canadian farms are family owned. My hubby are both self employed so supporting local and family owned businesses is important to us.
