Mega-Mediterranean bowl

Ingredients:

Serving size: 4

• chopped romaine

• 4 chicken thighs or breast

  I did breasts for this one but I tend to lean towards thighs for more flavor

  air fryer on 400 for 20 minutes tossing half way through, or oven at 425 for 20-30 minutes tossing half through

• 1 cup white rice

  cook per package

• pickled onions

  store bought from whole foods

• chopped greek peperoncini

• chopped Kalamata olives

• 1 can of chickpeas

  preferred roasted: cook in air fryer or oven for 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees, season lightly with oil & salt
