    In case you haven’t noticed, I am all about the bowl dinners these days! Versatile, nutritious and packed with flavor, I love getting creative and finding new ways to use whatever veggies, meats or leftovers I have on hand.

    One of our go-to week night dinner recipes is my Sheet Pan Lebanese Shish Tawook Chicken. My husband and kids love the lemony chicken and I love how easy it is to make.

    Whenever I make the chicken, I always double up so that I have leftovers for lunch and/or dinner the next day. In fact, these leftovers are exactly what inspired me to create these tasty bowls filled with creamy cucumber laban yogurt sauce, za’atar seasoned tomatoes and hummus.

    My kids love the creamy yogurt sauce made with lemon, garlic and mint and I love how it cools down the chicken hot out of the oven. Hummus is a no-brainer and you’re free to use store-bought or homemade

    The base of the bowl is chopped romaine and your grain of choice. We like using bulgur wheat but freekeh, quinoa, spelt or farro would work great too. You can also skip the grain entirely to keep it low carb.

    1. Would this be appropriate for meal prep? How long does it last in the fridge? Should it be served cold or hot? I’ve seen several bowl/meal prep things that include slaws or lettuce, and I’ve never understood how it could be heated up without having multiple containers…

            1. Hmm, I’m not sure how well this would work as meal prep for me then… I make 5 days (at least) of food in one go and sometimes on my Saturday. Maybe I’d just have to break down and mix up some of the tomato mid-week. Thanks so much!
