So on my train travels through Newark Penn Station I stopped by a place called Chickpea.. It was awesome sauce-- Primarily Mediterranean cuisine that has a co-op with Red Mango frozen yogurt. They have this bowl called the ... ugh, I just went searching so I didn't mess you up-- but I can't find it. Anyhowzers its falafel with hummus and sharma chicken and you can add toppings like sautéed veggies, quinoa, mixed raw greens, etc. So since I haven't been through Penn Station in the last few weeks I attempted a different way of creating this Mediterranean (not so Mediterranean) dish at home.
This is a cool recipe to consider for fasting-- just eliminate the chicken and incorporate the chapatti instead of a pita roll...
Mixed Veggies
sautéed in pan lightly seasoned with garlic, salt and pepper -- McCormack sells the fresh ground shaker mix: Once sautéed and cook down set aside
Capellini Zucchini (zucchini that is cut in the shape of spaghetti)
mushrooms
onions
yellow squash
green peppers
kale
spinach
Hummus
I bought the Shop Rite brand which was good... It wasn't chickpea but it was good...
Chicken Breast
I took 1 thick cut chicken breast and marinated in pesto basil parmesan dressing and cooked on low 225 for about 1.5hour (could have been more, I was working and cooking -- point is cook it low and slow -- just make sure its cooked through.)
On a plate spread the hummus with the vegetables on top and lay the chicken over it and your done. So its a meal that can be prepped and cooked with minimal work and supervision. You can cook the night before to take for lunch or you can even stay one step ahead and cook the next nights meal.
