Ingredients

Scale

For the Crispy Chicken:

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Oil for cooking

For the Hot Honey:

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes

For the Garlic Yogurt Drizzle:

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste

For the Bowl Base:

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coating Bowls: Set up three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumb mixture made by combining breadcrumbs, crumbled feta cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This setup readies the chicken pieces for a triple coating.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Dip the chicken pieces first in flour to lightly dust them, then into the beaten eggs for moisture, and finally into the breadcrumb-feta mixture ensuring each piece is well coated with the flavorful crust.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken pieces, turning occasionally, until they develop a golden brown, crispy crust, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove them and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Prepare Hot Honey: In a small saucepan, gently warm the honey with chili flakes over low heat. Stir occasionally to infuse the honey with spice, creating a sweet and mildly spicy drizzle.
  5. Make Garlic Yogurt Drizzle: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy, balancing the tang and freshness to complement the chicken and bowl ingredients.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: Start with cooked rice or quinoa as the base. Arrange crispy chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and olives evenly on top.
  7. Add Finishing Touches: Drizzle the hot honey and garlic yogurt sauce over the assembled ingredients. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley and additional crumbled feta if desired for extra flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the breadcrumbs and flour with gluten-free alternatives.
  • The chili flakes in hot honey can be adjusted to taste depending on your preferred spice level.
  • Using Greek yogurt with full fat will give a richer drizzle; low-fat yogurt can be substituted for a lighter option.
  • Quinoa can be used instead of rice to add more protein and fiber.
  • Leftover crispy chicken can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
