🍗 Chicken with Marinade

Ingredients:

  • 250g Harmless Chicken (From Frozen)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 4–5 garlic cloves, minced

  • Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

  • Generous pinch of salt

  • Generous pinch of cracked pepper

  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tbsp dried oregano

  • ¼–½ tsp cayenne pepper


🥗 Salsa Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1 tomato, diced

  • ½ red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

  • ½ tbsp sumac

  • Pinch of salt

  • Drizzle of olive oil

  • Juice of ½ lemon or lime


🧄 Coconut Yoghurt Dressing

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp thick Coconut yogurt (I suggest Ragland) 

  • A handful of fresh mint (about 3 tbsp), chopped

  • 2 green onions (green and white parts), chopped

  • ½ large jalapeño

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • Generous pinches of salt and pepper


 Method

  1. Marinate the Harmless Chicken:
    Add all marinade ingredients to the chicken and mix well to coat. Let it sit for 2–6 hours, or ideally overnight, in the fridge.

  2. Cook the Rice:
    Prepare your grain of choice. I used 1 cup of brown rice cooked in a rice cooker. White rice or couscous works well too.

  3. Preheat & Cook Chicken:
    Preheat your oven or air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Remove the chicken from the fridge and place it on a wire rack or tray. Cook for 10–15 minutes, or until the marinade is cooked through.

  4. Make the Dressing:
    Blend all coconut yoghurt dressing ingredients in a food processor or bullet blender until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  5. Prepare the Salsa Salad:
    Dice and mix all the salsa ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.

  6. Assemble the Bowl:
    Plate your cooked rice, top with sliced Harmless Chicken, spoon over the salsa salad, and drizzle with yoghurt dressing.


Enjoy your protein-packed bowl full of flavour and plant-based power 💪🌿
