Instructions
- 01
Season Cooked Chicken: Toss the cooked sliced chicken breast with dried oregano, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small bowl.
- 02
Create the Hummus Swirl: In two wide, shallow lunch bowls, spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup of creamy hummus on one side and use the back of a spoon to create an elegant swirl. Dust with paprika and drizzle with a few drops of olive oil.
- 03
Add the Salad Greens: Place a bed of chopped romaine lettuce or baby arugula on the opposite side of each bowl.
- 04
Layer Chicken & Vegetables: Arrange the seasoned chicken slices, diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and sliced red onion neatly over the greens and alongside the hummus swirl.
- 05
Garnish and Serve: Scatter crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill, and parsley over the top. Serve immediately with warm toasted pita triangles and fresh lemon wedges.
- ✦Chicken Prep Shortcut: Use shredded rotisserie chicken or pre-grilled chicken breast strips tossed with lemon juice and dried oregano for a 5-minute express lunch.
- ✦Work Meal Prep Packing: Pack hummus in one side of a 2-compartment glass container, and arrange the chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, and greens in the other. Keep feta and pita separate until lunchtime.
- ✦Temperature Flexibility: Chicken can be served warm, room temperature, or chilled; the contrast of warm chicken against cool hummus and crisp cucumber is particularly delicious.
- ✦Extra Grain Base: Add 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa or brown rice to the bottom of the bowl for an even heartier grain bowl.
