Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425F

  2. 2

    Cut the chicken into large chunks approximately 2 inches in size.

  3. 3

    Place them in a tinfoil lined baking dish, add the olive oil and all of the spices and stir with a spatula to ensure they are all well coated.

  4. 4

    Transfer to the oven to bake for 20 minutes

  5. 5

    Once the chicken is done cooking, using two forks (or I sometimes just let the chicken cook slightly and then use my fingers to shred it into large shredded pieces).

  6. 6

    Mix the shredded chicken in with any of the leftover spices and oil in the bottom of the pan so that it soaks it all up.

  7. 7

    In a small bowl whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey and water. Microwave for 40 seconds until warm and then add in the onion slices. Press down on the onions slices to ensure they are submerged. Leave to “pickle” for 20 minutes

  8. 8

    To assemble, add 1 ½ cups shredded romaine to each bowl, add approx 1/2 cup cooked brown rice to each bowl followed by the shredded chicken, tomatoes and cucumber slices. Crumble feta overtop, add 3-4 big dollops of tzatziki to each bowl and the pickled red onions, sprinkle with fresh chopped mint.
