Greek Chicken Bowl | Mediterranean Low Fat Satiety Bowl, One Hit Unlocks Refreshing Home Flavors

after the spring in Toronto, the day is getting longer and longer. The guests who come to the small meal bar in my community are more and more fond of simple meals that are fresh and not heavy and can't top their stomachs. They often order a solid Greek chicken bowl than pita bread wrapped with barbecue. As the owner of a restaurant that focuses on Greek homely flavor, this bowl dish is regarded as my trump card light food. The tender to brushed lemon herb roast chicken is matched with crisp and fresh seasonal vegetables, dense chickpeas and fragrant quinoa. Finally, it is sprinkled with soul yogurt cucumber sauce. There is no heavy oil and heavy sauce. It is all fresh and original flavor of Mediterranean diet. It is full of low fat and low fat. It is suitable for people, office workers or daily meals, even local neighbors who usually don't like to eat light food clock in several times a week.

To tell the truth, I started to make this chicken bowl, not to catch up with the trend of light food, but to meet the needs of old customers in the restaurant. Many regular customers said that they like the freshness of Greek food, but they always want to change some patterns when eating pita cakes. They want a simple meal that can eat all the nutrition in one bowl without peeling or being afraid of falling dregs. Only then did I find out the recipe of home-cooked chicken left by my grandmother. Combined with the improvement of the bowl style that everyone likes at present, I debugged it for almost a month before finalizing the final version. Unexpectedly, there are even guests who drive from the city just to eat this bowl of authentic Greek home flavor.

Old fans who are familiar with me all know that I am Elena Petridis. I grew up with my grandmother in the old city of Athens. Now I open a small Greek community restaurant in the east side of Toronto. I specialize in the authentic Greek taste that can be re-carved without professional equipment or kitchen novice. I have always felt that the real Mediterranean diet is never a delicate but ungrounded plate in the restaurant, but uses the freshest ingredients and the simplest seasoning to taste the aroma of the food itself. When cooking, I still like to put soothing Greek folk songs. When making chicken bowls, I always subconsciously think of my grandmother's appearance of pickling chicken in the Athens kitchen. This one has the taste of homesickness, it has also become the most moving part of this cuisine.

At the beginning of debugging this Greek chicken bowl, I stepped on no less pit than I did when I made pita bread. For the first time, the chicken was cooked directly in clear water, which was completely tasteless and could not be chewed. The side dishes are mixed casually, and the taste is soft and prone without layers. Yogurt cucumber sauce is too salty and greasy with too much salt, which completely covers the refreshing feeling. It was served to the Greek villagers in the meal bar. Everyone shook their heads and said that there was no authentic freshness. Later, I changed it a little according to my grandmother's instructions. The chicken was pickled in advance with lemon, olive oil, dried Oregano (oregano) and minced garlic to completely remove the fishy smell and bring its own fragrance. The side dishes were strictly in accordance with the usual Greek mix, choosing crisp and tender seedless cucumbers, sandy tomatoes, degreasy feta cheese, and chickpeas and quinoa to increase satiety; yogurt cucumber sauce only uses thick Greek yogurt, crushed cucumber, a little salt and olive oil. The taste is dense and refreshing, and it can improve freshness without grabbing the taste. When it was changed to the fifth edition, it finally made an authentic Greek homely taste.
