Tender Lemon-Herb Chicken Shawarma Bowls
Pan-seared chicken breast marinated in zesty lemon and warm shawarma spices, served over fluffy quinoa with a crisp cucumber-tomato salad and creamy yogurt drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Slice the chicken breast into thin, even strips and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to the chicken, tossing well to coat each piece.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken, searing for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the diced cucumber and halved cherry tomatoes in a small bowl with a tiny pinch of sea salt.
In a separate small dish, whisk the Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of water or additional lemon juice until it reaches a smooth, drizzling consistency.
Place the warm cooked quinoa in the base of a bowl, then arrange the spiced chicken and the fresh cucumber-tomato salad on top.
Finish the bowl by drizzling the creamy yogurt sauce over the chicken and garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.
