  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Grill kabobs, covered, for 10 - 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure the internal temperature has reached 165F before removing from the grill. Set aside to rest while you whip together the remaining ingredients.

  4. Place Italian parsley, mint and cilantro in the food processor. Pulse until minced. Pour cauliflower rice into a large bowl and mix together with chopped cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, minced herbs, juice of 1 lemon, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper.
  5. Mix all ingredients for the spicy Greek yogurt in a bowl and set aside for serving.
  6. To assemble the bowls: place tabbouleh on the bottom and evenly top with chickpeas, feta, lemon wedges and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Add chicken skewers and serve with spicy Greek yogurt, hummus and pita chips.
