Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Feta Sauce according to the recipe. You'll only need ½ batch for the bowls, so save the rest for snacking!

  2. 2

    Cook the chicken: Add olive oil to a large skillet and place over medium-high heat. Once warm, add in the onions and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until softened. Push onions to the edges of the pan and add the ground chicken, breaking apart the meat with a spoon and working the onions in. Season the chicken and cook until the meat is fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. 3

    To serve: Add a scoop of feta sauce and rice in a bowl, then top with roasted chickpeas and the spiced ground chicken. Finish with cucumbers, pickled red onion, olive oil, feta, mint, and parsley.
