Ingredients: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric. 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice. 2 cups mixed salad greens. 1 cucumber, diced. 1 tomato, diced. 1/4 cup diced red onion. 1/4 cup hummus. 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt. Juice of 1 lemon. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Optional toppings: olives, feta cheese, tzatziki sauce.
Instructions: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, salt, and pepper. Add sliced chicken breasts to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the spice mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through, flipping halfway through cooking. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the bowls by dividing cooked quinoa or brown rice, salad greens, diced cucumber, tomato, and red onion among serving bowls. In a small bowl, whisk together hummus, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped parsley to make the sauce. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from heat and slice into strips. Top each bowl with sliced chicken and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with optional toppings as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
