Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup SideDish Greek Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons harissa paste
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 ears corn, husks removed
3 ounces feta cheese
¼ cup pickled jalapeños + 1 tablespoon brine
1 (10–12 oz) bag slaw mix
1 cup diced cucumber
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
½ cup pickled red onions
1 avocado, diced
1 cup cooked quinoa or rice

Method

In a large bowl or zip-top bag, combine the chicken breasts, SideDish GreekVinaigrette, harissa paste, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temp of 165°F). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5minutes before slicing.

At the same time, grill the corn, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides, about 8–10 minutes. Cut the kernels from the cobs and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the feta cheese, pickled jalapeños, and the tablespoon of brine. Using an immersion blender (or a food processor), blend until smooth and creamy.
Divide the quinoa or rice among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the slaw mix, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, pickled red onions, grilled corn, diced avocado, and sliced chicken. Spoon the crazy feta on top of each bowl. Drizzle with additional SideDish Greek Vinaigrette, if desired.
Serve and enjoy!
