    15-Min Tahini Chicken Grain Bowls

    Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve the tomatoes. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, honey, pomegranate syrup, and a drizzle of olive oil.

    2 Cook & dress the chicken

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the za'atar. Toss to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to the bowl of sauce; toss to combine.

    Meanwhile, cut a 1-inch vent in the package of quinoa. Microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through. Transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, halved tomatoes, arugula, vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Serve the warmed quinoa topped with the salad, dressed chicken, and tzatziki. Enjoy!
