Instructions

Creating Greek Chicken Bowls with Creamy Tahini Feta Sauce is easy when you follow these simple steps:

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  1. Prepare the Tahini Feta Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix tahini sauce with crumbled feta cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust with water if necessary for desired consistency.
  1. Prepare the Base: Cook brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions if you haven’t already. This will be the base for your bowls.
  1. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice or quinoa, followed by spinach or mixed greens.
  1. Add Vegetables: Top with diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
  1. Slice Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them on top of the vegetables.
  1. Drizzle the Sauce: Generously drizzle the creamy tahini feta sauce over the assembled bowls.
  1. Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.
  1. Serve: Enjoy your Greek Chicken Bowls warm or at room temperature!
