Easy Shawarma Chicken Bowls with Trader Joe’s Favorites
Easy and balanced shawarma chicken bowls that come together in under 40 minutes.
Equipment
- 9x13 Ceramic Dish
- pot
- Knife
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1 Package Trader Joe’s Chicken Shawarma ~1.5 pounds chicken
- 1.5 cups Dry white rice
- 1.5 teaspoon Turmeric Spice
- Salt + pepper to taste (½ teaspoon salt and ¼ Teaspoon Pepper is what I do)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 2 Persian cucumbers chopped
- Trader Joe’s Tzatziki Sauce 2 tablespoons per bowl
- Red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- 1.Cook the Chicken. Place your chicken shawarma in a 9x13 ceramic dish or on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes, then slice into juicy strips.
- Make the Turmeric Rice. While the chicken bakes, cook 1.5 cups of rice according to package directions, but don’t forget to add turmeric, salt, and pepper into the water.
- Chop the Veggies. Halve your cherry tomatoes and chop the Persian cucumbers. These fresh toppings balance the bold flavors of the chicken and rice.
- Assemble the Bowls. Grab a big bowl and build your masterpiece! Start with a bed of turmeric rice, add your juicy shawarma chicken slices, top with tomatoes and cucumbers, and dollop on that glorious Trader Joe’s tzatziki. Sprinkle on red pepper flakes for a little heat, if using!
