For the Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, garlic powder, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and plain yogurt. Mix well until a smooth paste forms.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill or cook in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

  2. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

Assembling the Bowl

  1. 5

    Prepare the Base

    In serving bowls, divide the cooked quinoa or rice evenly as the base for each bowl.

  2. 6

    Add Fresh Ingredients

    Top the quinoa or rice with halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley.

  3. 7

    Add Chicken and Extras

    Place the sliced chicken on top of the vegetables. Add a scoop of hummus on the side and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top. Serve with toasted pita bread triangles.
