THE RECIPE

Chicken Shawarma Sheet Pan

Macros per serving:

411 cal, 17g fat, 30g carb, 3g fiber, 35g protein

(I used 1.25lb chicken breast and 75g cooked rice per serving)

Servings: 4 servings

Time: 30 minutes

Tools:

  • Sheet pan

  • Foil

  • Cutting board

  • Knife

Ingredients:

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tbsp oil

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 2 tsp cumin

  • 2 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne

  • 1.5 tsp salt

  • 1-1.5 lb chicken breast

  • 1 bell pepper

  • 2 zucchinis

  • Rice

Yogurt Dill Dressing

  • 5 oz Greek yogurt (one small container)

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove minced

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp dried dill

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.

  2. Mix together the minced garlic, oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. 

  3. Slice the pepper and zucchini and add them to the sheet pan.

  4. Slice the chicken breast against the grain. Add to the sheet pan. Add the sauce and mix with the chicken and veggies until coated.

  5. Spread in an even layer and bake for 15-20 minutes. You can broil it for a minute or two, but keep your eye on it!

  6. While it’s baking, make the rice and mix together the ingredients for the yogurt dill sauce.

  7. Serve with the rice and yogurt dill dressing.

LAZY VERISION
  • Use a microwavable rice packet

  • Skip the dressing and just use greek yogurt.

SUBSTITUTIONS
  • Dairy free: use plain coconut yogurt in place of the greek yogurt. Or buy a dairy free tzatziki- Trader Joe’s has one!

  • If you want more veggies, you can add shredded cabbage as a topping.

  • Whole30- skip the dressing, use cauliflower rice instead of rice

  • Sub for zucchini: 1 bunch of asparagus

STORAGE
  • Allow everything to come to room temp and then store in airtight containers. Store the dressing separately- I like using these containers.

REHEATING
  • Reheat for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove the container with the dressing first!

REDUCE FOOD WASTE
  • Leftover cooked rice? Freeze it! Let it cool then store in a freezer bag in the freezer.
