Before I dive too much deeper into this recipe for grilled chicken thigh rice bowls with citrus tahini dressing, let me tell you a little bit more about the MVP’s of this recipe. These items take a lot of the work out of the recipe by simplifying the process which adding lots of flavor and ease.

Apple Cider Vinegar Blends from BRAGG

Apple cider vinegar is always a staple in our pantry for it’s versatility and health benefits (maintain healthy blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels are a few proposed benefits). When I saw the new BRAGG Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Blends, I had to get them! The infused blends combine delicious flavors with additional wellness properties to supercharge your meals. Apple cider vinegar can be mixed in water, in smoothies, used for marinades and dressings and in so many recipes. In the recipe below, I use the new BRAGG Citrus Ginger Apple Cider Vinegar Blend in a delicious dressing/dip that is perfect for drizzling on salads, over buddha and rice bowls, or even dipping sweet potato fries. Ginger is widely known for it’s anti-inflammatory properties and gives a great little kick of flavor too.

The Orange Tart Cherry blend has a sweet-tart mix that is perfect for adding to smoothies to give them a powerful immunity-boost.

Mighty Sesame Organic Tahini

We LOVE tahini in our house and Mighty Sesame Organic Tahini (they have two varieties Mighty Sesame Organic Tahini: & Mighty Sesame Harissa Tahini) is one of my favorites for a few reasons! The convenient squeeze bottle makes using it super easy and ready to go at all times to add some delicious nutritional flavor to any dish. No hand mixing necessary – just give it a good shake and it’s ready to use.

Tahini is a great source of protein and is power packed with 260mg of calcium in one serving. While we often use tahini for hummus, there are so many great uses like salad dressings, sauces (like used in the recipe I’m sharing today), dips or as a vegan alternative for mayo. The gluten-free Mighty Sesame Harissa Tahini is perfect on it’s own and I love adding a dollop on top of veggies.

Ready To Serve Rice from Minute Rice

Minute Ready to Serve cups are a must for quick and easy meals! I often batch cook proteins (like chicken breast or thighs, pulled pork, etc.) early in the week and these cups are great to pair with a protein and veggies for a quick and healthy meal that’s ready in minutes. With several different varieties (jasmine rice and brown rice & quinoa), these cups are lightly flavored and pair well with so many dishes and are so convenient in how quickly they are ready to serve. I simply heat up a cup, add my protein on top, add some veggies and drizzle with sauce for a perfectly portioned and flavorful meal that’s ready in minutes.

Now let’s whip up this yummy dish that you’ll love! To save time for quick meals during the week, prep and cook the chicken ahead of time and you’ll have a filling and nutritious meal on the table in minutes. For the chicken thighs, I season them generously with salt, pepper, garlic and a bit of paprika and toss a few quartered sweet potatoes on the grill with them. I add them to a bowl with rice or quinoa and then drizzle with a citrus infused tahini dressing.

This citrus ginger tahini sauce is the perfect blend of sweet and nutty with a little kick from red pepper flakes. It love drizzling it on roasted veggies for a little pop of flavor. You can also thin it down a bit with water for a yummy dressing that pairs wonderful with kale salads.
