Start by seasoning the chicken with paprika, salt and pepper.  Let it rest in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

1

Now we’ll quick-pickle some red onions. This simple yet complex ingredient will elevate your bowl in ways you would not expect.

2

Peel, rinse and halve the tomatillos. On a lined baking sheet, roast the tomatillos, poblano pepper, jalapenos, onion and unpeeled garlic cloves in a 400 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes. You want everything to become soft and develop some color.

3

Cook the chicken on each side for 5-7 minutes or until it has browned to your liking and the interior has cooked thoroughly. Slice the chicken lengthwise into half inch pieces.

4

Top with corn, beans, avocado, tomatoes and chicken. Add a dollop of greek yogurt to the center. Finish off by garnishing with pickled red onions, crumbled feta and a drizzle of salsa verde over the entire bowl.
