Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Cook Brown Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of brown rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook Quinoa

    In another saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Cooking Proteins

  1. 3

    Grill Chicken

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

  2. 4

    Prepare Falafel

    If using store-bought falafel, follow the package instructions for cooking. Typically, this involves heating in the oven or frying until golden brown.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 5

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion into small pieces. Chop green bell pepper and kale into bite-sized pieces.

Assembling the Bowl

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, layer the brown rice and quinoa as the base. Top with grilled chicken, falafel, chopped vegetables, tzatziki sauce, hummus, and feta cheese.

  2. 7

    Drizzle Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the assembled bowl.
