Ingredients

1 cup brown rice
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
¼ cup olive oil plus 1 tablespoon, divided
Juice of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon allspice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 Persian cucumbers, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 pita bread cut, into 4
¼ cup tahini, homemade or store-bought
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

In a large saucepan of 2 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions; set aside.
In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine chicken, 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, chili powder, Italian seasoning and allspice; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken to the skillet and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Let cool before cutting into strips.
Place rice, chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes and pita bread into meal prep containers, drizzled with tahini and garnished with parsley, if desired.
