Ingredients & Measurements:
Hot Honey Harissa Chicken
- 2 pounds chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup harissa
- 5 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup honey
Rice
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup brown jasmine rice, thoroughly rinsed – or basmati rice
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional)
Toppings
- 6 cups washed salad greens
- 1 cup cucumbers, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup pickled red onions
- 1 cup hummus
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup Kalamata olives
- 1 cup Tzatziki
- 1 cup corn, grilled or canned (and drained)
- Pita bread chips, optional
To Prepare The Chicken:
- Pat dry chicken breast with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the harissa sauce, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey. Stir until fully mixed.
- After fully mixing, toss chicken breasts in your mixture until evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the coated chicken breasts evenly on your baking sheet. Brush any leftover sauce over the chicken.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes (or until the internal temperature of a chicken breast is 165 degrees).
- When complete, cover your cooked chicken with foil and rest for 10 minutes. After cooling, cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
To Cook The Rice:
- Place stock, olive oil, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan over high heat. Cover and bring it to a boil.
- Add the rice and bring it to a boil. As soon as it reaches a boil, put the lid on and turn the heat down to low. Let the rice simmer until liquid is fully absorbed.
- After your rice is cooked, turn the heat off and let it rest for 10 minutes with the lid on.
- When ready to serve, uncover and fluff rice with a fork. Season with black pepper and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Assembling Your Mediterranean Bowls:
- Divide cooked rice among 6 bowls, followed by a handful of spring mix, chicken, and preferred toppings.
- Top each bowl with a dollop of tzatziki, hummus, and crumbled feta. Add tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled red onions, olives, and corn.
- Serve your bowls with pita bread or pita chips on the side and enjoy!
