Now, my Chicken Buddha Bowl with Spicy Mango Sauce.
What exactly is a Buddha bowl, you may ask?
Generally, it’s a combination of: Grains, Protein, Veggies, and Toppings/Dressing. I swapped out the grains for spinach and kale, but this bowl is awesome with some cooked white rice, too!
I love it because it’s customizable to what you have on hand, and absolutely anything and everything is awesome with this Spicy Mango Sauce on top!
If you have a rotisserie chicken made, chop it up and use that. Have no chicken made? Dice, marinade, and cook in a skillet. The options are endless and all results in a delicious and nutritious meal.

Gorgeous colors and photography, Lexi!! Buddha bowls are my JAMMMM. Thanks so much for sharing <3
Thanks so so much Marina! They’re the best!
Oh my gosh girl, I want to pour that sauce on ALL the things! This bowl if packed with flavor and I want it for lunch! Pinned!
This sounds like my kind of buddha bowl! I love the addition of roasted sweet potatoes and the mango dressing sounds delish.
🙂 🙂 🙂
Your photography is so nice and colorful. I like the combination of dishes with spicy mango sauce. Can’t wait to try this on coming weekend!
I would so dive into this in a heartbeat!
Hi there! So I made these everything turned out great except the dressing. It was gritty when I first made and kinda dried out into little clumps in the fridge. I used a mini food processor as I don’t really have a high-speed blender – could that be the problem? I even added more vinegar and coconut milk to smooth it out but nothing helped. But the chicken with purple sweet potatoes and spicy roasted broccoli was delish!
Some brands of coconut milk are gritty. A mini processor would not smooth out the texture. The coconut milk could be strained and then a smooth sauce would result.
I’m really into buddha bowls at the moment and this one looks great. Brilliant colors. The mango would be delicious. What a great idea to do a tropical buddha bowl, I haven’t tried that yet!
I’m a little late to the game, but I am a little confused on the instructions. The instructions indicate tossing it in “olive oil and the sauce”, but I am not sure if you mean the mango sauce or the chili paste. Would you mind clarifying, please?
Sorry…by “it”, I mean the broccoli. (I thought I proof-read before hitting post!!)
I had a similar question, I needed to know which sauce to mix with the broccoli before it is roasted – is the the mango sauce? How much do you add? Or is that a misprint and only olive oil and salt are used on the broccoli before it is roasted?
FIXED. Just oil + salt on broccoli.
It’s just simply chicken broth with noodles. Pretty plain compared to other cup noodles. You’ll want to add some protein or veggies to give it more flavor. I’m glad I didn’t spend much on this purchase. I ended up donating the other packs I purchased.
What noodles are you talking about? There are none in this!
I love this chicken Buddha bowl with the roasted sweet potato. Even my fussy kids ate it. Delicious.
I would like to make it very soon. Very colorful and gorgeous and It will be so tasty I hope! 🙂
Did you know plate Joy has your photo and a modified version of this on their service? I just wanted to see if you knew.
I did not. Thank you!
