→ Bowl Ingredients
10 -
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
11 -
1 cup diced cucumber
12 -
1 cup roasted peppers
13 -
1 cup shredded spinach or mixed greens
14 -
2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
15 -
½ cup sliced, pitted kalamata olives
16 -
1/3 cup crumbled feta (optional choice)
17 -
1 cup thinly sliced red onions
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss the chicken until coated, then leave it to soak up the flavors for at least half an hour—or more in the fridge for a stronger taste.
02 -
Warm a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side till it's done all the way through (aim for 165°F inside). Give it 5 minutes to cool before slicing.
03 -
If you need to, prepare quinoa or rice following the instructions on the pack. Put it aside once cooked.
04 -
Cut cucumbers into cubes, slice onions thin, halve cherry tomatoes, and get all your vegetables ready.
05 -
Divide the rice or quinoa into 4 dishes. Add the chicken pieces and arrange veggies like cucumbers, peppers, greens, onions, and tomatoes in a neat circle around the grains.
06 -
Throw on some olives and crumble feta over each bowl (if using). Give it a quick sprinkle of parsley and serve right away.
