Instructions

Step 1

Wash and dry the zucchini; quarter lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise.

Step 2

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). Toss to coat. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and the chicken is cooked through. Add the currants and vinegar (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. Turn off the heat.

Step 3

Meanwhile, cut a 1-inch vent in the package of rice. Microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through. Transfer to a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve the warmed rice topped with the cooked chicken and zucchini. Drizzle with the tzatziki and garnish with the almonds and peppers. Enjoy!
