  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon to ensure even cooking.

  3. Prepare the Creamy Hot Honey Feta Sauce: In a bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, chili flakes, lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked quinoa or rice. Top evenly with the seasoned ground chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives.
  5. Add Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the creamy hot honey feta sauce generously over each bowl. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.

  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the sauce to your heat preference.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For a richer flavor, add a splash of white wine vinegar to the sauce.
