These ginger chicken rice bowls are friendly for a low FODMAP diet and are super quick and easy to make.
If you like the flavours of the chicken, you can also make it and serve it alongside chips and salad instead of rice, or in a wrap for a different type of meal.
I find the biggest challenge when following a diet such as a low FODMAP diet, is finding new meal inspiration – so I try to bring a variety of meals with my low FODMAP recipes. I do tend to err on the side of caution and don’t include ingredients which can be easily too many FODMAP’s – so if you have sauces or ingredients you know work well for you, feel free to add them into the dish to make it your own.

1. Then, begin by cutting your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and marinating with 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp lime juice and 1 tbsp ginger (frozen or freshly grated)
2. Then, cook your rice as per packet instructions and chop the lettuce and red bell pepper for the salad – if using to serve, whilst the chicken marinates a little.
3. Then, heat some cooking oil in a non-stick pan and bring to a medium heat
4. Add in the chicken, cook, stirring often until it’s cooked through and browned on each side (this will depend on the size of your chicken strips, but likely take 5-7 minutes), you’ll know it’s cooked through when the meat is white throughout
5. Then serve! I serve this alongside cooked rice and a simple salad of peppers and lettuce

You could also add in some soy sauce into the marinate if you'd like the dish to be more 'savoury' - look up the safe amounts of soy for FODMAP before doing so.
