A delightful fusion of flavor and freshness, these Chicken Shawarma Bowls feature juicy marinated chicken thighs paired with a fresh medley of vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup chopped lettuce
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup tahini or yogurt sauce
  • Pita bread (optional)

Instructions

  1. Create the Flavorful Marinade: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade, ensuring every piece is covered in those delicious spices.
  3. Let the Flavors Develop: Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or even better, overnight for optimal flavor penetration.
  4. Sauté the Chicken to Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
  5. Slice the Juicy Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few moments before slicing it into strips.
  6. Prepare the Bowls: In bowls, layer the cooked rice or quinoa as the base, and top with chopped lettuce, diced tomato, diced cucumber, and the sliced chicken.
  7. Drizzle and Serve: Finish off by drizzling with tahini or yogurt sauce and serve with pita bread on the side if desired.

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken thighs overnight. You can substitute tahini with yogurt sauce, hummus, or a simple lemon and olive oil dressing.
