Instructions

Make the Cucumber Tomato Salad:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all of the ingredients for the cucumber tomato salad to a mixing bowl and mix well to combine. Cover the bowl with a lid (or plastic wrap) and refrigerate until ready to use. This salad stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Prepare the Chicken:
  1. Mix the avocado oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl or measuring cup until well combined.
  2. Transfer the raw chicken thighs to a large zip lock bag with the marinade. Seal the bag and move everything around so that the chicken is coated in marinade.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, ideally several hours and up to 24 hours.
  4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Transfer the marinated chicken to a casserole dish or a large baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 24-28 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Chicken thighs are best when they have reached an internal temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit, and up to 205 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thighs to check the internal temperature.
  7. Allow the chicken to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Assemble the Bowls:
  1. Load up big bowls with rice, cucumber tomato salad, hummus, chicken, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce. Mix it all up, and enjoy!
