Instructions

  • Prepare all ingredients as instructed.
  • Cook the quinoa according to package instructions, seasoning with salt to taste once cooked, then cover and keep warm.
  • Heat a grill or griddle pan over medium heat. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and season evenly with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Grill the chicken on both sides until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat, let rest for 3 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a blender, combine the garlic, cilantro, cumin, olive oil, lemon juice, and tahini, then blend until smooth, adding a few drops of water if needed to reach a pourable consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the Buddha Bowl by portioning the quinoa, top with grilled chicken, tomato, cucumber, avocado, feta cheese, and red onion. Drizzle with the prepared sauce.
  • Heat the water until it reaches 175–185°F (80–85°C), just before boiling. Remove from heat, add the green tea bags, and steep for 2–3 minutes before removing and discarding the tea bags.
  • Serve the Buddha Bowl with sliced mangos and green tea.
