📝 Preparation Steps
1
Start the rice & prep bowl additions
2
Cook the rice using your desired method: rice cooker, stovetop, etc. While the rice steams, make the chicken & prep any remaining components: Chop the cucumber, tomato, and kale. This can all be done in advance to save time.
3
Prep & season the chicken
4
Season the chicken thighs with salt, cumin, garlic powder, ground clove, msg, plus a drizzle of agave. Mix to ensure even coverage. Lightly spritz with oil, and arrange onto to an oiled rimmed sheet tray. Turn on the broiler setting on the oven to high.

5
Broil the chicken
6
Slide the chicken underneath the broiler and cook for about ⏱️ 15 minutes or until 170°F/76°C internal. Flip the chicken once halfway through cooking, keeping an eye on everything. Some charring is fine, but the chicken can burn easily because of the agave. Rotate or lower the rack if needed. Alternatively, grill the chicken outside, but the broiler is an easy indoor method of getting similar charred flavors. When done, allow to rest while you make the dressing.
7
Mix the herb vinaigrette
8
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, za’atar, and black pepper until emulsified. The vinaigrette should taste sharp and bright—adjust with extra lemon or vinegar for acidity, or more olive oil if you want it softer and rounder.
