This HIGH PROTEIN + LOW CARB Mediterranean bowl is a family favorite. Swap out proteins for variety and taste. Salmon, shrimp, jammy eggs and steak work well too.
Here’s how to make it👇
1. Begin with 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6 thighs). Toss into a bowl.
2. Mix with 2 tsp. smoked paprika, 2 tsp. garlic powder, 1 1/2 tsp. sumac, 1 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/2 tsp. cumin, a dash of cinnamon, sea salt, & ground pepper. Mix in 2 tbsp plain yogurt and some fresh lemon juice. Mix well until fully coated and let marinate for a few hours. *Don’t worry if you don’t have time to let it sit and marinate. It will still be delicious.
2. When ready to cook, heat large skillet to medium heat and add 1-2 tbsp avocado oil. Add the chicken to the pan with the smooth side down and don’t move it until at least 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. When it releases easily from the pan (5-7 mins) you know it ready! Flip chicken and cook for another 5-6 minutes, until the meat is golden brown and juices run clear.
4. While the chicken is cooking, plate bowls with baby gem lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced baby cucumbers, sliced avocado and fresh feta.
5. Slice chicken thighs and add them to the bowl. Top with lots of fresh herbs (cilantro, dill, parsley, mint) and dress with a homemade vinaigrette made with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, a dash of Dijon mustard, a drop of honey, crunchy sea salt and pepper.
Enjoy with warm pita or skip it for a low carb meal.
