0.25 cup English cucumber

0.25 cup Roma tomato

PREPARATION

• 1

  Slice the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips to ensure even cooking and maximum spice coverage.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is coated in the vibrant spice marinade.

• 4

  Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

• 5

  While the chicken is searing, combine the diced cucumber, tomato, and red onion in a small bowl and toss with the fresh lemon juice.

• 6

  Place the warm, fluffy basmati rice into a serving bowl and top with the spiced chicken and the fresh vegetable salad.

• 7

  Garnish the bowl with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt to provide a cool, tangy finish to the warm Mediterranean spices.
