This Confetti Chicken Big Bowl is a fun and flavorful dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. It's a complete meal in one bowl, packed with protein, veggies, and noodles. The star of the show is the juicy, tender chicken, which is marinated in a mouthwatering blend of spices and herbs, including garlic, ginger, cumin, and basil. The chicken is then stir-fried to perfection and served on a bed of ramen noodles, along with an array of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, snow peas, carrots, and broccoli. The dish gets its name from the confetti-like sprinkle of cilantro and corn kernels that add a burst of flavor and texture. The best part? It's ready in just 45 minutes! This recipe is also dairy-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.

One of the things I love about this dish is its versatility. You can easily customize it by adding your favorite vegetables or substituting the chicken with tofu or shrimp. The ramen noodles can also be swapped out for rice or quinoa if you're looking for a gluten-free option. The possibilities are endless! The flavors in this Confetti Chicken Big Bowl are truly exceptional. The combination of the slightly spicy red curry paste, the tangy lime juice, and the creamy coconut milk creates a delicious balance of sweet and savory. The basil, cilantro, and ginger add a fresh and fragrant touch, while the soy sauce provides a savory depth of flavor. This dish is not only delicious but also nutritious. It's a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, and the variety of colorful vegetables provides a range of health benefits.
