A high-protein salad bowl layered with grilled chicken, tart green mango, fresh greens, and a tangy adobo-inspired vinaigrette.
This vibrant bowl brings together everything you love about Filipino flavors—tart green mango, juicy grilled chicken, and the unmistakable tang of adobo. It’s fresh, filling, and perfect for days when you want something nourishing but still bold and exciting. Whether you enjoy it as a quick lunch, post-workout meal, or a meal-prep staple, this bowl delivers big flavor with minimal effort.
The magic begins with the contrast of textures and flavors. The grilled chicken adds smoky protein, the green mango gives that crisp-asim bite Filipinos adore, and the greens and rice provide balance and body. But the real star is the adobo vinaigrette—tangy, garlicky, slightly sweet, and incredibly nostalgic. It turns a simple bowl into a modern Filipino fusion dish that feels both familiar and refreshing.
Because everything can be prepped ahead, this bowl is also perfect for busy days. Cook extra chicken or repurpose leftover adobo, slice up mangoes, and whisk the vinaigrette. Assembly becomes a breeze!
Using talbos ng kamote adds a uniquely Filipino touch, but any fresh leafy greens work beautifully. Pairing it with black or brown rice gives the bowl a nutty, earthy base that complements the bright mango and savory chicken. For an extra punch, pickled onions and crispy garlic bits add acidity and crunch—small toppings that make a big difference.
Think of it as adobo reimagined. Instead of simmering chicken or pork, the classic trio of vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic becomes a silky dressing. Briefly heating the garlic softens its sharpness, while a touch of sugar balances the acidity. The result is a dressing that's tangy, savory, and deeply Filipino—perfect for drizzling over bowls, salads, or even grilled meats.
Everything about this dish is designed for convenience. Cook once, enjoy twice (or more!). Just keep the vinaigrette in a small jar, store your components separately, and assemble when you're ready. It travels well, stays colourful, and tastes even better as the flavors mingle.
This Grilled Chicken & Green Mango Bowl celebrates Filipino flavors in a fresh, nutritious way—ideal for anyone who loves vibrant bowls with a touch of heritage. From the smoky chicken to the crisp mango and that addictive adobo vinaigrette, every bite is balanced, satisfying, and packed with character.
Enjoy it warm or chilled, as a quick lunch or meal prep—and let each bowl remind you how fun and flavorful Filipino fusion can be! 🌈🍚🔥
