Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients: olive oil, coconut yogurt (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, sea salt, maple syrup (if using), and warm water to adjust the consistency as needed.
Cook the cauliflower rice according to package instructions and set aside.
Grill or sauté the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
To serve, assemble the bowls by placing cooked cauliflower rice at the base, topping it with grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, kalamata olives, sliced avocado, and red onion. Drizzle with tahini sauce.
Finish with optional crumbled feta and enjoy your healthy Mediterranean bowl.

Notes

Allowing the chicken to marinate for a longer time enhances the flavor even more.
You can substitute tahini with hummus for a different sauce option.
Feel free to add any seasonal veggies for extra nutrition and color.
