Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl
Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with aromatic shawarma spices, served over fluffy basmati rice with a crisp cucumber salad and zesty garlic yogurt sauce.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked basmati rice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.5 cup diced cucumber
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp minced red onion
0.25 tsp ground cumin
0.25 tsp ground coriander
0.25 tsp ground turmeric
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice blend evenly over the chicken breast until it is fully and aromaticly coated.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, combine the plain Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and half of the lemon juice in a small dish to create the creamy sauce.
In a separate bowl, toss the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced red onion with the remaining lemon juice for a bright salad.
Allow the cooked chicken to rest for 3 minutes before slicing it into thin, succulent strips.
Assemble the bowl by placing the cooked basmati rice at the base, then topping with the sliced chicken, the fresh cucumber salad, and a dollop of the garlic yogurt sauce.
