MIDDLE EASTERN CHICKEN & RICE BOWL. . This is one of those meals thats so good it’s going to change the game for you. Plus, it has 50g protein. I made this HIGH PROTEIN and LOWCARB with my @Kaizen Food Company lowcarb rice. Its available right here on TikTok shop. . Here is how I made it: . 1.Add 2lb chicken thighs to a bowl. Drizzle with 1.5 tbsp olive oil & season with 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsb thyme, 1/2 tbsp Aleppo pepper or chili flakes, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, a few pinches of salt and ground pepper along with 2 tbsp plain yogurt and juice of 1 lemon. Mix well, then ideally let this marinate for 2-10 hrs, but if you want to make it right away go ahead. . 2.When you’re ready to eat, bring a pan to medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil, add the chicken (brought up to room temp before cooking), and cook it through on medium heat. I used a cast iron pan & cooked on the 1st side for 4 mins, flipped for 4 mins, then cooked on each side for about 1-2 mins again. This takes about 10-12 mins depending on thickness of chicken. . 3.Make the salad by thinly slicing a large red onion, a small handful cherry tomatoes, a large handful of fresh flat parsley. Add to a bowl, sprinkle with 2-3 pinches salt, 2 tbsp of sumac, & juice of 1 large lemon. Mix well, then let it sit for about 10 mins, stirring it a couple of times. . 4. Make the white sauce by mixing 1/4 cup plain yogurt, 3 tbsp mayo, 1/8 cup pickle juice, 2 tbsp fresh dill, a small pinch of salt, & lots of fresh cracked pepper. Mix well, taste, and adjust. . 5.Finally, get your base ready. I used my Kaizen lowcarb rice (just 6 net carbs + 20g protein per serving), but you can use rice, cauli rice, quinoa, or whatever you like. 6.When rice is cooked, add a serving to the bowl, some chicken, then pile high with the salad, some sliced Persian cucumbers, fresh herbs, and drizzle it up with some of the white sauce. .
