Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp shawarma seasoning
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 cucumber

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips and toss with 2 tbsp shawarma seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the chicken cooks, make the sauce: whisk 3 tbsp tahini with the juice of 1/2 lemon and 2-3 tbsp water until smooth and pourable. Add salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Divide 2 cups cooked rice between two bowls. Top with the cooked chicken, sliced cucumber, and any extras like tomato or parsley if you have them.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the tahini sauce over each bowl and serve with the remaining lemon wedges for squeezing.
