Protein-packed meals you’re going to love.
A dinner centered on chicken is likely a dinner centered on soy. That’s because most chicken raised in the U.S. is fed a balanced, protein-rich diet made from U.S.-grown soybeans. It’s the first step in a food chain that brings high-quality protein to your plate. From the farmers who grow the beans to the meals that feed our families, U.S. Soy plays a vital role in making delicious, nutritious dinners like these possible.
Spring is here, and it’s time to swap out winter comfort foods for fresh, nourishing meals that make the most of the season’s best produce. But let’s be real — we need recipes that are as quick and easy as they are delicious and satisfying. We’ve got you covered with 15-minute recipes to shake up your weekly rotation. Featuring Perdue® Fresh Cuts No Antibiotics Ever chicken and its convenient pan ready packaging (read: no cutting board needed), these meals keep cleanup to a minimum while maximizing flavor.

Healthy Spring Roll Chicken Bowls
Serves 4
Switch things up for dinner with a deconstructed spring roll bowl — tender grilled chicken, crisp fresh veggies, and a generous drizzle of your favorite peanut sauce for a flavorful, fuss-free twist!
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces vermicelli rice noodles, cook according to pkg directions
- 1/2 pkg Perdue® Fresh Cuts Chicken Breast Strips
- 1 jar of peanut sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 head of green cabbage, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 small cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/2 mango, cubed
- 1 pkg mung beans
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 spring onion, sliced
- 1/3 roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
- Optional herbs: cilantro, mint, Thai basil
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Hot sauce
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup peanut sauce (thin with a little water if too thick) and chicken breast strips to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. On a grill pan or sauté pan, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. With tongs, remove the chicken from the marinade and place directly onto pan in one layer. If the pan isn’t large enough, make in batches. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, not moving or flipping until well browned. Chicken is ready when an insta-read thermometer reads chicken at 165℉.
4. Transfer grilled chicken to plate to rest while you assemble the bowls.
5. To assemble bowls, equally divide the rice noodles into four bowls, top with cabbage, carrot, cucumbers, mango, mung beans and avocado.
6. Add sliced chicken with any reserved juices, and top with spring onions, peanuts and herbs.
7. Drizzle with peanut sauce (thin with a little water if too thick). Serve with lime wedges and favorite hot sauce.
