Description

A fresh and flavorful Green Goddess Bowl with grilled marinated chicken, herby dressing, rice, feta, and vibrant toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Grilled Chicken:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Green Goddess Dressing:
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup fresh tarragon
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Other Bowl Ingredients:
  • 2 cups cooked rice of choice
  • Feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Green onions, sliced
  • Quick pickled onions

Instructions

1. Whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

2. Place chicken in a bowl and pour marinade over top. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Add all Green Goddess Dressing ingredients to a food processor and pulse until combined but still slightly textured. Set aside.

4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

5. Grill chicken over direct heat for 4-5 minutes per side.

6. Move chicken to indirect heat and cook another 5-7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F.

7. Remove chicken and let rest 5-10 minutes, then cut into cubes.

8. Divide rice into bowls and top with chicken, feta, dill, avocado, green onions, and pickled onions.

9. Drizzle generously with Green Goddess Dressing and serve.


Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.

Substitute dairy-free sour cream and feta to make this recipe dairy-free.

Do not over-blend the dressing; it should remain slightly textured with visible herbs.
