  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1½ teaspoons sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice cooked
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • ½ cup kalamata olives
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced
  • Optional: crumbled feta
  • ½ medium red onion thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey optional
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup optional
  • 1 tablespoon warm water if needed to thin the sauce

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients including olive oil, coconut yogurt, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  2. Add the chicken thighs into the bowl and toss to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tahini sauce by mixing tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and optional maple syrup in a bowl. Thin it with warm water if needed to adjust consistency.
  5. Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 6-7 minutes on each side.
  6. Serve the cooked chicken over cauliflower rice and arrange cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, kalamata olives, sliced avocado, and red onion on top.
  7. Drizzle the lemon garlic tahini sauce over the bowls and add crumbled feta if desired.
