6.9kMediterranean Chicken & Rice Bowl 🍚(4 servings, 480 calories, 40g protein)
I lost 100lbs by making high-protein, flavorful versions of my favorite foods. This recipe uses my Kaizen high-protein, low-carb rice, but you could use whatever rice you prefer.
1. Season 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with 2 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend 1 handful basil, 4-5 garlic cloves, juice of 1 lemon, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Marinate chicken for 2-6 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Let chicken sit at room temperature for 30 mins. Bake with diced red onion in a cast iron pan for 35-39 mins.
3. Mix salad: 1/2 diced red onion, 2-3 diced Persian cucumbers, 1 diced green pepper, 1 oz feta, 1 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1.5 tsp sumac, salt, and pepper.
4. Serve chicken with rice, salad, yogurt, and sumac. Enjoy!ClipsFood & Drink
