Marinate the Chicken

Season your chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Chop parsley and garlic, then combine with olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let sit.

Make the Garlic Sauce

Mix mayo or Greek yogurt with minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth. Adjust seasoning.

Grill the Chicken

Preheat grill to high heat and cook marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Sauté the Greens & Roast Veggies

Sauté kale in olive oil until wilted. Roast vegetables on a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 400°F for about 20 minutes.

Assemble the Bowl
