Chicken Shawarma and Rice Bowl

by Jenan Zammar January 27, 2022
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This shawarma bowl is loaded with everything you would find in a sandwich plus the addition of the beautiful yellow rice!

In my home, we have shawarma a few times a month. It’s one of those meals that is so packed with flavour, healthy and delicious. We enjoy it in a sandwich or on top of a salad. This time around, I added some rice to add texture and flavour to the bowl. The chicken is marinated for a few hours to really get that shawarma flavour and when it comes to the veggies, the sky is the limit! Add anything you like and enjoy this bowl with a huge dollop of garlic sauce or hummus!

Ingredients

For the chicken:

5 boneless chicken breasts

2 tbsp shawarma spice

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp plain yoghurt

1 tsp 7 spices (all spice)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

 

For the rice:

2 cups basmati rice, rinsed

3 ½ cups chicken broth

1 tsp salt

1 tsp turmeric

 

For the salad:

Romaine lettuce, chopped

Cucumbers, sliced

Grape tomatoes, halved

Pickled turnips

Pickles, sliced

Radishes, sliced

Green onion, sliced

Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Add the chicken to a bowl with all of the marinade ingredients.  Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to overnight.

In a skillet on medium heat, add 2 tbsp olive oil.  Place chicken on the skillet and cook for 5 minutes.   Flip and cook for another 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 165 on a meat thermometer.  Alternatively, you can grill the chicken on a grill.  Set chicken aside for 10 minutes, then cut into cubes or slices.

While the chicken cooks, prepare the rice.  In a pot on high heat, add rice, turmeric, salt & broth.  Stir to combine.  Bring to a bowl then cover and lower the temperature to low.  Cook for 10-12 minutes or until water has absorbed.  Fluff with a fork.

In a bowl, add lettuce to half of the bowl and rice to the other half.  Add vegetables and chicken.  Top with a big spoonful of garlic sauce or hummus.
