Bowl Components
Method
Marinating the Chicken
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
Cooking the Chicken
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the Chicken
Take the chicken out of the marinade and grill it for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Rest the Chicken
Once grilled, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assembling the Bowl
Prepare the Base
In each serving bowl, add 1 cup of cooked rice or quinoa as the base.
Add the Chicken
Slice the grilled chicken and lay it on top of the rice/quinoa.
Top with Vegetables
Add diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion on top of the chicken.
