Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add brown rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating and the rice is cooking, chop the tomato and prepare the arugula, pickled onion, and any additional vegetables you desire.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, start with a base of brown rice, add grilled chicken slices on top, and arrange the arugula, tomato, pickled onion, tzatziki, hummus, and feta cheese around. Drizzle with Greek vinaigrette.
