This is a super easy, healthy weeknight meal that tastes incredible. It’s packed with colors, textures, tons of flavor, and works perfectly with regular rice, quinoa, or my high-protein, low-carb Kaizen rice. Eat it any night, or it’s a great healthy high protein meal prep option.
Ingredients:
1.5-2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into chunks)3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt2 tbsp tomato paste2 tbsp lemon juice1 tbsp olive oil4 garlic cloves, minced1/2 tsp ground cumin2 tsp smoked paprika1 tsp garam masala1 tsp ground coriander1/2 tsp turmeric1/2 tsp chili powder or Aleppo pepper
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 red onion, sliced1 red + green bell pepper, sliced
1 bag (8oz Kaizen protein rice), or 4 cups cooked white rice
Mint-Cilantro Yogurt Sauce:1 cup Greek yogurt1/2 cup cilantro leaves & mint chopped1-2 garlic clovesJuice of half a large lemon1 small green chiliPinch of salt
Here’s how I made it:
1️⃣ In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and coat the chicken well. Marinate at least 2-6 hours (overnight is best).
2️⃣ Heat a large pan over medium. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Set aside. You can also use an air fryer or pop it into the oven at 400F for 35 mins.
3️⃣ When the chicken is done, remove it. Add the sliced onion and peppers to the same pan. Sauté until tender and coated in all the chicken drippings.
4️⃣ For the yogurt sauce, mix all ingredients. Taste and adjust for salt or lemon.
5️⃣ Prepare your favorite kind of rice according to packaging instructions. I used my high protein lowcarb @kaizenfoodco rice (20g protein, 6 net carbs a serving) but you can use any rice you like.
Build your bowl with rice, veggies, chicken and 2 tbsp yogurt. Top with chili flakes, fresh parsley or cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon.
If you make it, be sure to let me know on SHREDHAPPENS.
ENJOY!
