Gut Friendly Chicken Poke Bowl
This chicken poke bowl is a fresh, colourful, and gut-friendly dinner idea that comes together with minimal cooking. Simply roast your chicken and sweet potato in the oven or air-fryer (even easier- get it pre-cooked), then layer everything into a vibrant bowl with crunchy slaw, creamy avocado, tangy pickled onions, and probiotic-rich sauerkraut.
High in fibre, healthy fats, and lean protein, this is an easy dinner recipe that supports digestion, balances blood sugar, and makes looking after your gut health simple and delicious. The drizzle of chilli oil or sriracha sauce adds just the right kick of flavour.
