• 2 tbsp low-fat quark (The creator also gives Greek yogurt as an alternative.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cook the rice according to the package directions, then spread the cooked rice over a baking sheet.

2. 2

   Add the olive oil, soy sauce, and chili crisp or sweet chili sauce to the rice and mix thoroughly so the grains are coated.

3. 3

   Bake the rice in the middle of a 200°C oven for about 45 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Stir or toss it occasionally during baking so it crisps evenly.

4. 4

   Season the chicken breast with soy sauce, paprika, onion powder, chicken seasoning, salt, and pepper.

5. 5

   Cook the seasoned chicken until golden and cooked through. The source does not specify the cooking method or cooking time.

6. 6

   Add the low-fat quark, cottage cheese, and Sriracha mayonnaise to a blender or suitable blending container.

7. 7

   Add paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, a squeeze of lime, and the peanut butter. Add a little water if needed.

8. 8

   Blend the dressing thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

9. 9

   Chop the red onion, cucumber, and avocado.

10. 10

    Place the cooked chicken, chopped vegetables, crispy rice, and peanut dressing in a bowl.

11. 11

    Top with sesame seeds, mix everything well, and serve.

Notes

The source does not specify the rice bag weight, exact amounts of the dry seasonings, or how and for how long to cook the chicken. Use a safe doneness check for chicken before serving. The dressing may be loosened with water as needed.
