This Sri Lankan-inspired chicken burger bowl is bringing the heat and the gains! 💪 I am the biggest fan of burger bowls as its the easiest thing to whip up on those busy weeknights. My favorite part is how colorful this particular bowl turned out!
Spicy, juicy chicken patties made with roasted curry powder, lime, and a touch of coconut milk are the star of the show—packed with flavor, high in protein, and super versatile. Serve them over fluffy rice or quinoa, add some crunchy lettuce or cabbage, sliced tomato, coconut sambol, and maybe a boiled egg if you’re feeling extra. Top it all off with a cool cilantro yogurt drizzle for that perfect bite.
At 472 calories and 23g of protein, it’s perfect for meal prep, easy weeknight dinners, or a satisfying lunch that doesn’t skimp on flavor.
Quick to make, bold to taste, and totally worth it. Let’s dig in!
