Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp ground cumin

2 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

½ cup tahini sauce

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix together olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for more flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Bowl: In a bowl, layer cooked brown rice or quinoa as the base. Then top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley.

        Drizzle with Tahini: Generously drizzle tahini sauce over the top of the bowl.

          Serve: Add lemon wedges for an extra zesty kick. Enjoy your colorful Chicken Shawarma Bowl!
