Chicken Schnitzel Abundance Bowl with Brown Rice, Avocado, Edamame & Sriracha Drizzle

This Chicken Schnitzel Abundance Bowl is a deliciously satisfying meal that combines crispy schnitzel, hearty brown rice, crunchy peanuts, and a vibrant slaw with edamame, avocado, cucumber, and fresh chilli. Finished with a sweet and spicy sriracha drizzle, this bowl packs bold flavour and nourishing ingredients in every bite.

Perfect for a quick, wholesome dinner or a hearty lunch, this abundance bowl offers balance, texture, and a wonderful mix of hot, cold, soft, and crunchy elements. It’s an excellent way to make schnitzel feel lighter and fresher, all while still being incredibly filling and comforting.

At Wholesome by Sarah, we love meals that are easy to prepare yet bring so much colour and joy to the table. This bowl is a great example of how simple store-bought ingredients, like schnitzel, can be elevated into a balanced, vibrant, and nourishing dish that feels restaurant-worthy but is perfect for busy weeknights at home. You can easily prep elements ahead and build your bowl when ready, great for meal prep too!
