Ingredients

This is just about as good healthy eating gets! I made this high protein and lowcarb with my @kaizenfoodco lowcarb rice, but you can use regular rice, brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice, too.

COMMENT “SAUCE” and I’ll message you the full printable recipe and details on how to grab my high protein rice.

Here is how to make it:

Directions

Dice up 2 lbs chicken thighs and add to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, add a pinch of salt, pepper, and toss in 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1/2 tbsp sumac, 1/2 tbsp cumin, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cumin. To tenderize the chicken, I also like to add 2 tbsp plain yogurt and the juice of half a lemon. Mix well, then let marinate for 2-12 hours ideally, but you can also cook it right away.

2.When you’re ready to eat, bring a pan to medium heat, add 1/2 tbsp oil, add the chicken, and cook on medium heat. This takes about 10-12 mins depending on thickness.

3.Make the sumac pickled red onions by thinly slicing a large red onion. Add to a bowl, sprinkle with 2-3 pinches salt, 1.5-2 tbsp sumac, and the juice of 1 large lemon. Mix well, then let it sit for about 10-15 mins, stirring a couple of times.

4.Get your other veggies ready: thinly slice iceberg lettuce, tomato, and finely chop some fresh parsley.

5 Make the white sauce by mixing 3 tbsp mayo, 2 tbsp sour cream or yogurt, 3 tbsp white vinegar, a small pinch of salt, & lots of fresh cracked pepper. Mix well, taste and adjust.

6.Get your base ready. To keep this lowcarb, I used my Kaizen lowcarb rice (just 6 net carbs + 20g protein per serving), but you can use any rice you prefer.

7.Add lots of lettuce to the base of a bowl, some cooked rice, 5oz chicken, tomato, a few pickled onions, lots of fresh parsley, and drizzle it up with the white sauce and hot sauce or sriracha. ENJOY.
