  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup, optional
  • 1 tablespoon warm water if needed to thin the sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, coconut yogurt or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
  2. Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Cover the bowl and allow marinating for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. In the meantime, prepare your vegetable toppings: Cook cauliflower rice if not already ready, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and slice the avocado and red onion.
  5. To make the lemon garlic tahini sauce, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, sea salt, maple syrup if desired, and warm water if needed to adjust the consistency.
  6. Once the chicken is marinated, cook it as per your method of choice (grill, bake, or pan-fry) until fully cooked and juicy.
  7. To assemble the bowls, place cauliflower rice at the bottom, top with cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, sliced avocado, and red onion. Drizzle with lemon garlic tahini sauce.
  8. Serve with optional crumbled feta on top.

Notes

Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables for a more personalized bowl.
The marinade can enhance flavor if left overnight in the refrigerator.
If you’re looking for a vegan option, substitute the chicken with chickpeas and use a plant-based yogurt.
