Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Trader Joe’s chicken shawarma thighs cooked according to package instructions
  • 1 box Trader Joe’s chickpea and red lentil risoni cooked according to package instructions, or grain of choice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 English cucumber sliced and halved
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) crumbled feta or more/less to taste
  • 1 cup (240 ml) tzatziki
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh dill finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) olives of choice
  • 1/2 lemon lemon juice
  • lemon wedges for serving
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Rest the cooked chicken thighs for several minutes, then slice them into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
  2. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the risoni, season with salt and pepper, and mix to combine.
  3. Assemble the bowls by using the risoni as a base and topping with the chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, feta, tzatziki, dill, and olives.
  4. Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy.

Notes

Risoni Alternatives: I love the texture of this specific risoni, but I have used quinoa or even cauliflower rice when I wanted a lighter base for the bowl.
The Resting Secret: I cannot stress enough how important it is to let the chicken rest for five full minutes before
