Zesty Mediterranean Chicken Shawarma Bowls

Tender, flavorful chicken shawarma served over a vibrant Mediterranean-style bowl with quinoa, roasted vegetables, and creamy tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, garlic, lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, cumin, paprika, coriander, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.

  2. 2

    Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing or shredding the chicken.
