Shawarma Chicken Bowls with Basil-Lemon Vinaigrette
Ingredients:
Chicken Shawarma
- 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts cut into strips
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 3 cloves Garlic minced or pressed
- 1 tsp Curry Powder
- .5 tsp Cumin
- .25 tsp Ground Coriander
Salad
- 6 c Mixed Baby Greens
- 1 c Cherry Tomatoes halved
- 1 c Fresh Basil torn
- 1 Avocado sliced
Basil-Lemon Vinaigrette
- 1 c Fresh Basil
- 2 cloves Garlic smashed
- .5 tsp Sea Salt
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 5 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions:
- In a bowl whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, curry powder, cumin, and coriander until combined.
- In a shallow sealable container or in a large Ziploc bag, combine chicken strips and marinade. Cover or seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (or marinate overnight if possible).
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tiny bit of olive oil, add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes turning regularly until juices run clear.
- While chicken cooks, make the vinaigrette. In a food processor (or small blender), process the basil, garlic, salt, and lemon juice until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil. Blend until combined. Set aside.
- To make the salads, add the greens in a large bowl and toss them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken on top along with the tomatoes, basil, and avocado. Drizzle the bowl with the basil-lemon vinaigrette.
