Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt I used kosher
- 1 Tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper

Cucumber Tomato Salad
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ⅓ cup cucumber diced
- 1 ⅓ cup tomato diced
- ⅔ cup red onion chopped
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Bowl
- 4-6 cups mixed greens
- 1 box rice pilaf prepared (we used Far East original or garlic & herb)
- ¼ cup crumbled feta divided
- ¼ cup tzatziki divided
- ¼ cup hummus divided
- Tahini sauce for serving, optional
Instructions
- Make the tzatziki sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, zest and dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the salt, pepper and lemon juice depending on your preference. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Make cucumber salad by combining all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl mix together salt, dried oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and lemon zest.
- Pat chicken dry then coat with the seasoning mixture.
- Add chicken thighs to a 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from oven and transfer to a cutting board. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken is baking, cook the rice pilaf according to the package instructions.
- To assemble bowls, divide the rice between four bowls, followed by 1-1 ½ cups of mixed greens, ¼ of the chicken, ¼ of the cucumber tomato salad, 1 Tablespoon tzatziki, 1 Tablespoon hummus and 1 Tablespoon feta. Drizzle with tahini sauce, if using. Enjoy!

Notes
- Storing: I recommend storing each component in separate containers. Everything should last 5 days in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to enjoy, heat up the warm components over the stovetop or in the microwave and assemble your burrito bowl!
