A delicious and customizable Chicken Shawarma Bowl, loaded with flavor and fresh veggies, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 cup rice or quinoa (uncooked)
  • Fresh veggies (cucumbers, tomatoes, or lettuce)
  • Tahini sauce (for drizzling)
  • Pickles (for crunch)
  • Hummus (to serve on the side)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, mix together cumin and paprika. Add your chicken thighs, ensuring they’re fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add a little oil, then cook the marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. Prepare rice or quinoa: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your rice or quinoa according to package instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Chop the fresh veggies: While everything is cooking, chop your cucumbers, tomatoes, or any other veggies you’re using.
  5. Assemble the bowl: Start with a base of rice or quinoa. Layer the cooked chicken on top followed by fresh veggies, a drizzle of tahini sauce, and some pickles.
  6. Serve with hummus: A scoop of hummus on the side adds creaminess that pulls it all together.

Notes

Don’t rush the marination for maximum flavor. Customize toppings to your preference.
