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 sauce.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tsp olive oil
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.25 tsp ground turmeric
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and toss in a medium bowl with the garlic powder, cumin, turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the spiced chicken pieces.
Sauté the chicken for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the exterior is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes, then toss them in a small bowl with half of the lemon juice.
In a small ramekin, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and the remaining lemon juice to create a smooth drizzle.
Assemble the bowl by placing the cooked quinoa at the base, topping it with the warm chicken and the fresh salad.
Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
