Recipe description
A delicious nourishing bowl, packed full of fresh salad and lean protein, with a flavour explosion from the overnight marinade. This recipe from Caravonica State School was a finalist in the 2022 Recipe of the Year competition.
Variations
Served hot or cold. Chicken can be marinated in advance and frozen until day of cooking. For the more adventurous children or staff variation you could add some olives and or a sprinkle of feta cheese in the salad. Tzatziki can be swapped for hummus to make the dish dairy free.
Packaging suggestion:
Use a lined salad bowl or a clam shell. If making in bulk, don’t add the salad and tzatziki until serving so the rice and chicken can be kept in the warmer.
This recipe was an entrant in the 2022 Recipe of the Year competition which is funded by the Queensland Government through Health and Wellbeing Queensland.
