Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with aromatic Middle Eastern spices, served over fluffy basmati rice with a crisp cucumber salad and zesty yogurt drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked basmati rice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.5 tsp ground turmeric
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Slice the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips and toss with the spice marinade until every piece is thoroughly coated.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is searing, combine the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and lemon juice in a separate bowl to make a quick salad.
In a small ramekin, stir the Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of water or lemon juice until it reaches a smooth, drizzling consistency.
Assemble the bowl by placing the warm cooked rice at the base, then top with the spiced chicken and the fresh vegetable salad.
Finish the dish by drizzling the yogurt sauce over the top and garnishing with fresh parsley for a burst of color.
