Hungarian Chicken Grain Bowls

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

I came up with this idea for a healthy and very easy, grain bowl with the most juicy, D to the LISH Hungarian spiced grilled chicken. Farro was my grain of choice and it was perfection with the chicken and yummy yogurt sauce I blended up. I tossed in some arugula, pickled red onion and avocado to round out the bowl. These are the perfect bowls when you need a fast and healthy weeknight option! Choose your grain of choice and DIVE IN!

  • 1 tsp 1 Brown Sugar

  • 1 tsp 1 Oregano

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 Salt

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 Garlic Powder

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 Onion Powder

  • 1/4 tsp 1/4 Pepper

  • 8 oz 8 Farro, Cooked to Package Directions

  • 4 cups 4 Arugula

  • 1 1 Avocado, Cubed

  • Pickled Red Onion for Garnish*Recipe in notes*

  • *For the Minty Yogurt Sauce*

  • 1/2 cup 1/2 Nonfat Greek Yogurt

  • 2 Tbsp 2 Olive Oil

  • 1/4 cup 1/4 Packed mint leaves

  • S&P to taste

  • Pinch of Coriander

  • 1 1 Lemon Zested and Juiced

Directions

  • To begin, cook your farro according to package directions
  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium/high. While grill is preheating, mix your rub, add avocado oil to your chicken thighs and sprinkle rub on both sides of chicken, coating well
  • Grill chicken until nicely charred on both sides and cooked to an internal temp of 165
  • Remove chicken, let rest for 5 minutes and slice
  • To build bowls, dress arugula with a splash of olive oil and salt. Place a handful of arugula in the bowl with the farro. Top with the slices of chicken, avocado cubes and pickled red onion
  • In a high powered blender, add yogurt, olive oil, mint, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper to taste along with a pinch of coriander. Blend until incorporated and drizzle on top of chicken

Notes

  • To make homemade pickled red onions, add 1 sliced large red onion to a large jar with 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup water, pinch of salt and 1-2 Tbsp of sugar. Shake well and allow to sit for at least 1 hour or up to a few days. The longer they sit, the softer and more flavor packed they’ll be. You can use pickled red onions on so many things. I love them on sandwiches and even in salads.
