Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp shawarma spice blend (or homemade mix of cumin, paprika, turmeric, and garlic powder)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup cucumbers, diced
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Water as needed to achieve desired consistency

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, shawarma spice blend, and salt. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Cook chicken on the grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown or bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
  4. While chicken cooks, slice bell peppers and dice cucumbers.
  5. In a small bowl, mix tahini with minced garlic and lemon juice. Gradually add water until creamy yet pourable.
  6. Slice cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Layer rice or cauliflower rice in bowls followed by chicken and fresh veggies. Drizzle generously with tahini sauce.
