- Today we're making a delicious Mediterranean chicken bowl
served over farrow.
That's perfect for lunch and meal prep.
So let's start with a farrow to a medium soft spot.
I'm adding one cup of farrow and three cups of water.
Then we're gonna add a little salt and cover with a lid.
We allow it to cook over medium high heat
until it starts to boil.
From there, we reduce the heat to medium, low
and simmer for 30 minutes.
Cooking your farrow is something that can be done ahead
of time, so it makes this a terrific recipe to meal prep.
Now while that's cooking, let's get started.
On the chicken in this large zip bag,
I added some chicken breasts, olive oil, lemon zest,
the juice from a lemon chopped garlic dried oregano,
some salt and black pepper.
Now this chicken marinated for about an hour
and this is something that you can definitely prep it the
night before and keep it in the fridge
and even cook it ahead of time.
So all you have to do is assemble.
So I have my skillet here warming up over medium high heat.
And the next thing we wanna do is add a little olive oil
and the chicken breast.
You wanna hear that sizzle and keep your chicken in place.
To ensure a good sear cook that one side
for five to seven minutes.
Flip and cook the other side
until the internal temperature has reached 165 Fahrenheit.
And the chicken is cooked through now.
Next, moving onto our veggies for these chicken fire bowls,
I'm really sticking
to the classic Mediterranean ingredients.
We have grape tomatoes, cucumber, onions,
siki sauce, and feta cheese.
So as you can see, our farrow is cooked,
and to test it, you just give it a quick try and see.
We will feel soft, kind of like rice.
Now it is ready
and all you have to do is turn it off the heat
and drain off any excess water.
You give it a quick stir.
Now that all of our ingredients are ready, all we have
to do is slice our chicken.
Another essential tip for moist chicken is
to make sure you cut it against the grain
before and after cooking.
To assemble, let's start with a scoop
of the farrow into the bowl.
Then we top it with our grilled chicken, tomatoes,
cucumbers, olives, a little red onion, a sticky sauce,
and a sprinkle of feta.
I'm also getting a little fancy with some fresh chopped dill
and a squeeze of lemon.
I'm also gonna show you
how I prep these gorgeous bowls in meal prep containers,
but first, so refreshing.
And the chicken. Hmm, it's perfectly cooked.
Now I'm one of those people that loves some meal prep,
and this recipe is killer for that.
In a glass meal prep container, I'm going
to layer the farrow cup it with chicken, tomatoes,
red onions, cucumber, olives, and feta.
While some of these ingredients are eaten cold in the bowl,
I don't mind the taste
of them when they're warmed up in the microwave.
However, you can totally skip warming up this meal
and eat it room temperature
or right out of the fridge like a salad.
I'm gonna pack this tiki in a sauce container
and lunch is ready.
See you next time.
