Step-by-Step Instructions for Mediterranean Rice Bowl
- Start by cutting the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, combine full-fat Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, tomato paste, paprika, kosher salt, and dried oregano.
- Mix well before adding the chicken cubes, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Skewer the marinated chicken pieces onto soaked wooden skewers and grill for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
- In a large saucepan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté onions until translucent. Stir in the basmati rice, toast briefly, then add chicken broth. Simmer for 15 minutes, then let sit covered.
- Prepare your salad by chopping cucumber and tomatoes, mixing with olive oil and seasoning. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Assemble bowls with rice, grilled chicken skewers, cucumber-tomato salad, and a dollop of hummus. Serve with naan or pita bread.
