Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 ½ - 2 lbs chicken thigh boneless, skinless
- ¼ cup lemon juice about 1 lemon, fresh
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Bowl
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 4 cups baby spinach chopped
- 4-8 Tablespoons hummus
- 4-8 Tablespoons garlic sauce Toum, store-bought
- Turmeric Rice
- Shirazi Salad
Instructions
- Marinate chicken in lemon juice, oil and spices overnight or for at least 4 hours in the fridge.
- Preheat oven to 425F. Remove chicken from marinade and add to a large baking pan. Discard remaining marinade. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F. You can broil for the last 2 minutes for some extra color and crispness. Let chicken rest on a cutting board for a few minutes, then slice thinly. Return chicken to pan, mix with extra juices. Serve and enjoy!
- While the chicken is baking, cook the turmeric rice and prepare the salad.
- To assemble bowls, divide the rice between four bowls, followed by 4 ounces of the chicken, 1 cup romaine, ¼ cup of the salad, 1-2 Tablespoons hummus and 1-2 Tablespoons garlic sauce. Enjoy!

Notes
- Storing: Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Keep the other bowl components (rice, salad, sauces) in separate containers to maintain freshness.
- Reheating: Warm the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or microwave it in short intervals until heated through. If it seems dry, add a splash of water or broth.
