Mediterranean Morning Bowl with Fried Egg

Directions

1. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, dried herbs, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Marinate chicken for 2 to 24 hours and sauté in a pan until golden brown. Turn over and finish cooking chicken in a 375° F preheated oven for 10 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165° F. Cool chicken and cut into approximately 1” squares, thread 5 to 6 squares on a metal or bamboo skewer.

2. Whisk tzatziki ingredients in a bowl to combine.

3. Toss chickpeas with oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 400° F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until crunchy. Chickpeas will get crunchier as they cool.

4. Combine Grain Trio Salad ingredients into a mixing bowl and season to taste with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5. Break eggs into small bowl. Heat a nonstick skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, hold dish close to surface of skillet and slip eggs, one-at-a-time into hot skillet. Make sure eggs stay separated from each other and fry until the white sets but the yolk is soft. The egg whites will bubble around the edges and brown a little on the bottom.

6. Measure approximately 2 cups of Grain Trio Salad per order into a mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil to taste. Scoop Grain Trio Salad into a serving bowl making sure some of the vegetables and cheese are visible for garnish. Arrange an egg on top with a spoonful of tzatziki sauce on the side. Sprinkle with crunchy chickpeas and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill, skewer of chicken and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
