Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl
Tender chicken breast marinated in aromatic Middle Eastern spices and seared until golden, served over fluffy basmati rice with a cool and creamy garlic yogurt drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked basmati rice
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 cup cucumber
0.25 cup tomato
1 tbsp red onion
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp ground coriander
0.25 tsp ground turmeric
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and toss with the spice blend and half of the lemon juice until evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, tahini, and the remaining lemon juice in a small ramekin until smooth.
Dice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion into small, uniform pieces.
Place the warm cooked basmati rice in a bowl and top with the spiced chicken and the fresh vegetable mix.
Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
