Tahini Chicken Bowls
Report
I'm crushing hard on these easy Tahini Chicken Bowls made with flavorful grilled chicken and veggies on a bed of rice, with a tahini sauce drizzle on top.

Ingredients
Chicken Marinade:
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic , minced
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoon Za’atar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Tahini Sauce:
- 1/4 cup Tahini
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice , fresh squeezed
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1-2 Tablespoon cold water , if needed, to thin sauce
Bowls:
- 1 zucchini , large, chopped into halved coins
- 1 red bell pepper , chopped into large chunks
- 1 red onion , chopped into large chunks
- 10 oz fresh broccoli , ends trimmed
- ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves , chopped
- Cooked white rice or cauliflower rice
Instructions
- Mix tahini sauce ingredients together then set aside. Can be made in advance. Thin with water to reach desired sauce consistency.
- Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade (olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, za’atar and salt). Place chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the marinade on top, tossing to coat the chicken. Marinate in the fridge for 1-8 hours.
- Grill: Remove chicken from marinade and grill over medium high (or cook in a hot greased cast iron pan) flipping once, until 165 degrees. Remove to a plate then cover with foil to rest.
- Veggies: Add chopped veggies to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil then season with salt and pepper. Grill veggies in a grill basket on a very hot grill (or cook in a hot skillet on the stove), for several minutes until tender and charred.
- Assemble Bowls: Add base of cauliflower rice or white rice. Top with chicken and veggies then drizzle with tahini sauce. Garnish with a big pinch of parsley and mint.

Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: The tahini sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. The chicken can be placed in the marinade anywhere from 1-8 hours before grilling. I love to do these two simple things, and chop the veggies, in the morning, so dinner is quick and easy!
- Gluten-free Adaptations: use gluten free Za-atar seasoning.
