Instructions

Step 1

To cook the chicken: While the rice is cooking, prepare and cook the chicken. In a large plastic bag or bowl, combine the chicken, lemon juice, garlic, and spices until the chicken is fully loaded. Make immediately or marinate 1-2 hours or overnight. Heat a large heavy duty skillet to medium-high heat for at least 2 minute. Pour 1 teaspoon olive oil to the pan. Cook the chicken uncovered for 8-10 minutes per side or until the center is fully cooked. Rest for 5 minutes then cut and serve.

Step 2

To make the jalapeno yogurt sauce:Place all the ingredients in a blender or food process and blend for 1 minute or until fully combined.

Step 3

To assemble: Combine all the ingredients for the salad in a medium bowl. Assemble the shawarma bowls by place about 1/2 cup cooked rice in the bottom of two medium serving bowls. Top with sliced shawarma chicken, salad, hummus, jalapeno sauce, feta cheese, and drizzle with tahini sauce. Serve immediately.
