Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl
Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with warm Middle Eastern spices, served over fluffy basmati rice with a crisp cucumber-tomato salad and a creamy, zesty tahini drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Cooked basmati rice
2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Tahini
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek yogurt
0.5 cup Diced cucumber
0.5 cup Diced tomato
1 tbsp Diced red onion
1 tsp Lemon juice
0.25 tsp Ground cumin
0.25 tsp Ground coriander
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the shawarma spice blend.
Slice the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips and toss them in a bowl with half of the spice blend and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until deeply golden and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the diced cucumber, tomato, and red onion in a small bowl with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Prepare the sauce by whisking together the nonfat Greek yogurt, tahini, and the remaining half of the spice blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Assemble the bowl by placing the warm basmati rice at the bottom, topping it with the spiced chicken and the fresh cucumber-tomato salad, then finishing with a generous drizzle of the tahini sauce.
