Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced or whole
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • ½ cup chopped cherry tomatoes or red bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • ½ cup hummus (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika or chili powder

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, tomato paste, honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss in chicken and let it sit for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the grill by preheating it to medium-high heat.
  3. Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let it rest before slicing.
  4. Make the cucumber salad by combining diced cucumber, chopped cherry tomatoes (or bell peppers), lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a medium bowl.
  5. Assemble the bowls starting with a scoop of hummus, then adding the grilled chicken and cucumber salad on the side.
  6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Perfect for meal prep; marinate the chicken a day ahead. For a low-carb alternative, substitute hummus with cauliflower rice.
