Ingredients

Scale

For the Ground Chicken:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice or chopped pita bread
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley

For the Whipped Hot Honey Feta Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season: Stir in paprika, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the spices release their aroma and the chicken is fully cooked.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend or whisk until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, place the cooked rice or chopped pita bread as the base. Top with the seasoned ground chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, olives, and chopped parsley.
  5. Serve: Drizzle the whipped hot honey feta sauce generously over the assembled bowls. Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or lean ground beef if preferred.
  • For a gluten-free option, use rice instead of pita bread.
  • Adjust chili flakes in the sauce to your preferred spice level.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with a side of lemon wedges for additional brightness.
