Chicken Shawarma Hummus Bowls combine tender, spiced chicken with creamy hummus, fresh vegetables, and a base of quinoa or rice for a flavorful and convenient Middle Eastern-inspired meal perfect for any day.

Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

  • 1 lb chicken breast (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Bowl Ingredients

  • 1 cup hummus
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 cucumber (diced)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 red onion (sliced)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let the chicken sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors; for even better taste, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken slices and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Start by dividing the cooked quinoa or rice evenly among serving bowls. Top with the warm, cooked chicken slices.
  5. Add hummus and vegetables: Spoon a generous scoop of hummus into each bowl, then layer on the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion for fresh crunch and flavor.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top of each bowl to add a bright, herbal finish. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant, wholesome flavors.

Notes

  • For more tender chicken, marinate overnight.
  • You can substitute quinoa with rice or couscous according to preference.
  • Adjust spices to taste, adding a pinch of cayenne for heat if desired.
  • Serve with warm pita bread on the side for a more filling meal.
  • Use fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish based on preference.
