Ingredients

Scale

For the Ground Chicken Bowl

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

For the Creamy 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 Ground Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart into small pieces as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the Meat: Sprinkle paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the chicken. Stir well and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the spices release their aroma and the mixture is fully cooked.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Hot Honey Feta Sauce: In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy with a balanced sweet, tangy, and spicy flavor.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Place cooked rice as the base of your bowl. Layer the seasoned ground chicken on top, followed by diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onions to add freshness and crunch.
  5. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the creamy hot honey feta sauce generously over the bowl. Serve immediately to enjoy the combination of warm, savory chicken and cool, tangy sauce with fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or lean ground beef if desired.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the rice and spices are certified gluten-free.
  • The hot honey feta sauce can be adjusted in spiciness by reducing or increasing chili flakes based on taste preference.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat thoroughly before serving.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or mint for additional flavor and garnish.
