Instructions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl or zip lock bag.

Step 2

Add all the marinade ingredients and mix until the chicken is well coated. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.

Step 3

Next make the dressing. Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a mason jar or a bowl and place in the fridge until you’re ready to eat. The earlier you make the dressing the better the flavors come together!

Step 4

Once you’re ready to cook the chicken, preheat a large skillet to medium high heat. Once hot add the chicken and cook 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and it starts to get crispy.

Step 5

Now it’s time to assemble! To each bowl add some mixed greens, rice, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, hummus, pickled red onions, and the harissa chicken. Top with the dressing and a sprinkle of feta cheese and enjoy!
