Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, marinated in shawarma spices
- 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup tahini sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken breast in shawarma spices for at least one hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Grill or sauté the marinated chicken until fully cooked. Slice the chicken into strips after letting it rest for a few minutes.
- In a bowl, layer the cooked rice or quinoa as the base.
- Add a generous amount of chopped lettuce on top.
- Sprinkle diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion evenly over the lettuce.
- Add the sliced chicken atop the salad.
- Drizzle the tahini sauce generously across the top. Season with salt and pepper, followed by a light drizzle of olive oil.

Notes
Use high heat to achieve a good sear when grilling the chicken. Allow it to rest before slicing to preserve juices. Adjust tahini sauce consistency for easy drizzling.
