Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoon Harissa paste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon Harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cup cooked Basmati rice
  • Mixed salad greens to taste
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Pickled red onions to taste
  • Crumbled feta to taste
  • Marinated cucumbers and tomatoes to taste
  • Hummus to taste
  • Pita chips, pita bread, or naan for serving

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoon of olive oil, Harissa paste, honey, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thighs in this flavorful marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

2. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until it’s cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Harissa paste, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic, and salt to create the Hot Harissa Vinaigrette.

4. Divide the cooked Basmati rice among your serving bowls. Top each bowl with a generous portion of mixed salad greens, sliced avocado, pickled red onions, crumbled feta, marinated cucumbers and tomatoes, and a dollop of hummus. Finally, place the cooked chicken thighs on top.

5. Drizzle the Hot Harissa Vinaigrette over the assembled bowls, ensuring every bite is infused with its bold and flavorful essence.

6. Serve the CAVA Honey Harissa Chicken Bowls with pita chips, pita bread, or naan on the side.

Notes

The CAVA Honey Harissa Chicken Bowls can be meal prepped by marinating the chicken and making the vinaigrette in advance. Store cooked chicken and assembled bowls separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
