Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, combine all spices, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic. Place the chicken in the bowl with the marinade, cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
3. Add onion and peppers to the marinade bowl and mix everything to combine.
4. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange chicken, onions and peppers on the baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and slice the chicken.
5. To arrange bowls, fill four bowls with romaine lettuce. Divide amongst each bowl the chicken, onions and peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, chickpeas, feta, and hummus. Top with tzatziki sauce and serve!
6. Note: If you'd like to make this recipe for meal prep, pack the chicken and peppers in a separate container to easily reheat independent of the remaining bowl ingredients.
