Method

1

Cut chicken breast into 1-inch strips. Mince garlic and juice lemon.

2

In a bowl, combine shawarma spice blend, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Add chicken strips and coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate up to 8 hours.

3

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread chicken strips onto skewers or place directly on grates. Grill 4–5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and exterior is lightly charred.

4

Meanwhile, prepare basmati rice according to package directions (or your chosen grain alternative) until tender and fluffy.

5

Place pita bread on grill for 1–2 minutes per side until warm and lightly toasted.

6

Dice cucumber and tomato. Thinly slice red onion. Chop parsley. Keep separate until assembly.

7

Place warm pita or grain in bowl or on a plate. Top with grilled chicken, then arrange cucumber, tomato, and red onion around the protein.

8

Drizzle tahini-lemon sauce over the bowl. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedge on the side.
