Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Add chicken and toss to coat.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Reduce heat and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F (about 2-5 minutes per side). Let rest before slicing.
In a small bowl, combine garlic white sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth.
To assemble bowls: Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top with sliced chicken, pickled onions, cucumbers, feta cheese (if using), cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices. Drizzle generously with garlic sauce and garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.
