Ingredients
For the Chicken:
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp Italian or Greek seasoning
1 tsp honey
Chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste
For the Bowl:
3 cups chopped kale
½ cup pitted Greek olives
¼ cup peperoncini
3 tbsp sesame seeds or pine nuts
Cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
Fresh chopped dill, for serving
Tahini Feta Sauce:
4–6 oz feta cheese
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
3 tbsp tahini
1 garlic clove, grated
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp honey
¼ cup water (plus more if needed)
Salt and chili flakes to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
On a baking sheet, toss cubed chicken with olive oil, Dijon mustard, chopped garlic, seasoning, honey, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Toss and return to the oven for 5–10 more minutes, until fully cooked.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine kale, olive oil, lemon juice, olives, peperoncini, sesame seeds, salt, and chili flakes. For wilted kale, add to the sheet pan with chicken for the final 1–2 minutes.
In a blender, combine all tahini feta sauce ingredients with ¼ cup water and blend until smooth. Add more water if needed to thin. Season to taste.
Assemble bowls with a base of rice, topped with kale salad, roasted chicken, and a drizzle of tahini feta sauce. Garnish with fresh dill.
Notes
Swap chicken with tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
Leftover chicken and sauce keep well for 3 days in the fridge.
For extra texture, try adding roasted chickpeas or crunchy pita chips on top.
Don’t skip the dill—it really brightens the whole dish!
