Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup sliced red onion
1/4 cup hummus
1/4 cup tzatziki or garlic sauce
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a bowl, mix olive oil with cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, allspice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Add chicken thighs to the bowl, coat evenly, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
Prepare your bowl with a base of cooked rice or quinoa.
Top with sliced chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, hummus, and tzatziki or garlic sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Use Greek yogurt garlic sauce for a tangier flavor.
Swap rice for cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
Can be meal-prepped and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
