Panera Mediterranean Warm Grain Bowl
This copycat Panera Mediterranean Warm Grain Bowl recipe has everything that the Panera version has - but it's even better and super easy to make! I love the combo of all my favorite ingredients like olives, hummus, tahini and Greek yogurt!
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1-2 cups mojo criollo marinade
- 2 cups cooked brown rice & quinoa
- 2 cups arugula or spinach/mixed greens
- 10 grape tomatoes halved
- 1/3 cup Kalamata olive
- 1/2 cucumber diced
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1/3 cup feta
- 1/2 cup Plain Fat Free Greek yogurt
- 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup tahini dressing
Instructions
- Marinate chicken breasts overnight in Mojo Criollo Marinade
- Cook chicken breasts - Bake: 350 degrees for 20 minutesAir Fry: 350 degrees for 12 minutes
- Heat your rice/quinoa according to package directions
- In two large serving bowls, place greens around edge of bowl
- Prep veggies (slice tomatoes, cucumbers)
- Add cooked quinoa and split between two bowls on top of greens
- Remove chicken and let rest for 5 minutes
- Top quinoa/greens with tomatoes, cucumber, olives
- Slice chicken and place on top of quinoa
- Add heaping spoonful of hummus and yogurt to the bowl
- Top with crumbled feta
- Squeeze lemon over both bowls
- If you like, add tahini dressing - but I didn't feel it needed it!
Notes
– You can use rotisserie chicken if you like
– For the brown rice/quinoa – you can either use a bag of frozen rice/quinoa or Minute Rice makes a microwavable one! Super quick!
– Tahini dressing is expensive and not easy to find – I found that it wasn’t necessary with the yogurt and hummus – and when I tried the Panera version – I didn’t even taste it!
– Arugula is lighter than spinach but a little bitter – I found a mix of the two at the store that was really good
