Instructions

  • Prepare the chicken: If using leftover chicken, shred or dice it. If starting from scratch, season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika, then pan-sear or grill until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
  • Assemble the Base: Spread a generous layer of hummus at the bottom of each bowl.
  • Add the Greens: Top the hummus with a handful of mixed greens.
  • Layer the Veggies: Arrange cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion over the greens.
  • Add the chicken: Place the cooked chicken on top of the veggies.
  • Garnish: Sprinkle with feta cheese, olives, and fresh herbs.
  • Drizzle: Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice for extra flavor.
  • Serve: Enjoy immediately or store for later!

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute chicken with roasted chickpeas or tofu.
  • Customize the veggies based on what’s in season or your personal preferences.
