Green Bowl with Chicken, Citrus and Herbs
This warming green bowl with chicken, citrus and herbs from Hannah Bronfman’s Do What Feels Good: Recipes, Remedies and Routines to Treat Your Body Right is packed with protein, so it makes for an ideal midday meal to keep you satisfied.
“I’m absolutely obsessed with za’atar spice blend and put it on everything. In this case, when mixed with the citrus, it really gives this bowl a Mediterranean vibe,” Bronfman says in her new book.
Oh, and one last thing: We won’t tell if you drizzle your bowl with store-bought green-goddess dressing.
