How to Make It:

 

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a hot skillet, cook your pre-marinated Shawarma chicken until it’s golden brown and juicy. This should take about 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Rice: While the chicken is cooking, reheat your cooked rice or prepare instant rice if you’re really short on time.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of rice, add the cooked Shawarma chicken on top, and pile on your fresh veggies. Drizzle with your favorite sauce and sprinkle any optional toppings you like.
