These hoisin chicken rice bowls are light, healthy and extremely versatile. The chicken, mushroom, and pepper mixture is out of this world.

After trying (and loving) the Asian Lettuce Wraps, I knew I wanted to experiment more with that style of food. I have had this recipe bookmarked for a long time and it is one of the first real meals I made in our new house.

I loved it. Loved, loved, loved it.

While bowl full of lettuce, white rice, chicken and chopped vegetables.

It is very healthy and after all the chopping, it comes together in a snap. Plus, I loved the versatility of serving it with romaine lettuce and rice, or just lettuce…or just rice. You get the picture.

You can serve it according to your tastes.

It was absolutely delicious with both the hearty green romaine lettuce and the warm, tender rice.

The chicken, mushroom, pepper mixture is out of this world with flavor and texture.

Hoisin sauce is one of my favorite Asian ingredient flavors and this meal was a slam dunk, in my book.
