Mediterranean Bowl

Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 2.5 Pounds of Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 2 Tablespoons of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 0.5 Teaspoon of Sea Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon of Smoked Paprika

Sides:

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, add the olive oil, sea salt, and smoked paprika. Mix to combine.
  2. Remove the chicken from the packaging and place it on a cutting board. It is recommended to keep a separate cutting board that is used only for raw chicken.
  3. Slice the chicken breasts across the short side into slices about 0.5 centimeter thick.
  4. Add the chicken slices to the bowl and mix thoroughly until all of the chicken is evenly coated with the smoked paprika mixture.
  5. Preheat a cast iron pan or large frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Add the chicken slices to the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Stir the chicken slices with a large spoon and cook for another 3 minutes.
  8. Continue stirring the chicken and cooking for an additional 3 minutes at a time until the chicken is cooked through and begins to lightly brown. The chicken will take approximately 20–25 minutes to cook.
  9. Clean the carrots and bell peppers. Peel the carrots and cut the vegetables into strips that are a good size for dipping into the hummus.
  10. . Warm the pita bread just before serving.
  11. . Serve the chicken with hummus, chopped vegetables, tomato salad, and warm pita bread.

Tips

  • The **perfect bite** is a piece of warm pita bread topped with hummus and smoked paprika chicken.
  • Arrange the chicken, hummus, vegetables, tomato salad, and pita together in a large bowl or on a plate so everyone can combine the ingredients however they like.
  • Prepare the Hummus and Tomato Salad ahead of time to make dinner preparation easier. The Pita Bread should be baked at the same time as the chicken is cooking, as warm pita bread is incredible.
