Healthy Nigerian Recipe – Chicken Suya Veggie Bowl
Who doesn’t love some suya? Here is a way to enjoy suya as a complete meal instead of a snack. I have upped the vegetable content to make it a full fresh meal. This is a quick recipe that doesn’t take much time to prepare. Try it for lunch or supper, on it’s own, in a flour wrap or as lettuce wrap.
Ingredients:
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs -4 pieces
- Salt- to taste
- Cracked black or Cameroon pepper – To taste
- Maggi – 1 cube
- Suya spice mix – 1 heaped teaspoon
- Oil – 2 Tablespoons
- Peppers, carrot and onions 2-3 cups Sliced
Directions:
- Season the sliced vegetables with salt and pepper. Set aside
- Season chicken with maggi, pepper and salt. Combine. Set aside
- Place a large skillet or griddle on high heat, add in the chicken as soon as the oil is hot. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes . Remove Chicken and set aside to cool. Slice
- Combine sliced chicken with suya spice. Toss to coat thoroughly.
- Combine chicken and seasoned vegetables
Serve and enjoy as Lunch or Supper
Recipe Note:
- I added in some chicken Gizzard into the photographed meal. Gizzard was boiled with salt and pepper until tender and grilled along with the chicken
- You may substitute beef if you prefer. About .3kg Top Sirloin will do. Season as stated and cook to desired doneness The majority of font changers are very simple to use, especially when compared to some of the sophisticated programs that are available online.

Hi, I lived in Nigeria for 10 years, PH, mainly, and got used to the food and spices in my cooking, except dried shrimp of course, not for an expat. So I am thankful for your recipes and sauce mixes. do you have a recipe for the black eyed been cakes, I believe iy to be akara, but I may mis remeber. I see a lot of your people ask about spice availability, well I find Steenbergs to have a complete selection, all I needed for the suya mix. Thanks and God bless. Tony
