Ingredients
  

  • ½ batch Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Feta Dip
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ medium to large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Lots of freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked rice of choice
  • 1 cup roasted chickpeas
  • 4 pieces Persian cucumbers, halved and sliced
  • Pickled red onion
  • Warm torn pita, for scooping
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Extra feta, crumbled
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Fresh chopped parsley

Method
 

  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. 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. 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.

Notes

Serve with warm pita bread for scooping up delicious flavors.
