Delicious + Nutritious Mediterranean Bowls

Happy Tuesday W+A friends! Last night we decided to grill since daylight is sticking around longer and longer these days, which we are loving! We were in the mood for something healthy and a bit different from what our typical weekly dinner go-tos are. Its a super easy recipe and and even easier cleanup. Here's everything you'll need for these tasty and flavorful bowls: 


Ingredients (all)
2 lbs of boneless/skinless chicken thighs
1 English cucumber 
1 container of cherry tomatoes 
1 large can of chickpeas (we used Goya) 
1/2 red onion
4 tbsp pf olive oil 
1 tbsp of lemon juice
oregano 
garlic powder
salt 
pepper 

Ingredients (marinade)
1 large garlic clove 
1 tbsp of coriander 
1 tbsp of cumin 
1 tbsp of cardamon
1 tsp of cayenne pepper 
2 tsp of smoked paprika 
2 tsp salt 
black pepper to taste 
2 tbsp of lemon juice 
3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil 


Directions
Prep your chicken first. Combine the marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag or bowl. Add the chicken and use your hands to make sure each piece is coated. If using a ziplock bag, we find it convenient to close the bag then massage the bag to disperse the rub all over each chicken thighs. We suggest marinating overnight or at least for 3 hours. Place chicken on the grill and cook the first side for 4 to 5 minutes until nicely charred, then turn and cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes.Remove chicken from the grill and cover loosely with foil. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into cubes. While your chicken is grilling you will toss your tomatoes with 1 tsp of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano and add to a grill safe rack or griddle covered with foil. Grill tomatoes for about 10 minutes until lightly charred.  

Drain and rinse your chickpeas. Place in a bowl and mix 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano to taste. Thinly slice entire cucumber and 1/2 red onion. Create your bowl by adding chickpeas, tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers and chicken. Add a dollop of tzatziki sauce, greek yogurt or your favorite dressing. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley.

Happy Spring? Yes,  the question mark is needed since we had snow on Long Island today and its April second! I'd say about six inches total, but we were happy to see the sun appear and melt some of it away. We started on some yard work this week and were getting the itch to start doing some planting, but luckily we held out for now. Snow days are always the best days to test out a new recipe and typically we like to try our hands at baking on these chilly days. We just received some of Kodiak Cake's  new Almond Poppy Seed Power Cakes Flapjack + Waffle mix. We decided to use this delicious mix for some baking and the results turned out absolutely delicious.
