Instructions

- Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and add to a sheet pan with any excess sauce and seasonings on top. Place in the preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Optional, you can broil for an extra 3-5 minutes for a little crisp on top.
- While the chicken cooks, make the sauce. Combine the tahini, greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, salt and water to a small bowl and mix to combine. Add additional water if you desired for a thinner consistency for pouring on your bowls.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and make your bowls. Serving per bowl, ½ cup cooked white rice, ½ cup shelled edamame beans, ¼ of the chopped cucumber, ¼ cup pickled onions, 3.2 oz. cooked chicken with 35g of sauce ontop. Garnish with green onions, parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
