Notes

Serving: 1Bowl Calories: 554kcal Carbohydrates: 66g (Fiber: 4g) Protein: 38g Fat: 14g Substitutions Chicken Shawarma: Sub with any store-bought shawarma-style marinated chicken or make your own using olive oil, garlic cloves, paprika, cumin, coriander, and lemon juice. Tzatziki Sauce: Use any brand or make a quick version at home with Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon, and dill. Persian Cucumbers: English cucumbers or chopped red peppers work great here! Turmeric Rice: Try couscous, cauliflower rice, or brown rice for a fiber boost. Gluten-Free: This recipe should be gluten-free on its own, however, it is always important to check the label. It typically doesn’t contain gluten, but always verify there are no gluten-containing ingredients or cross-contamination risks in the chicken, spice blend, and tzatziki sauce. Dairy-Free: Make your own dairy-free tzatziki with plant-based yogurt like almond or cashew mixed with cucumber, garlic, lemon, and herbs! You can also use a lemon tahini drizzle or a simple olive oil + garlic + lemon juice dressing instead. What to Serve With It A side of pickled onions or sliced red onions A drizzle of harissa paste or crazy feta for an extra layer of bold flavor Warm pita bread if you’re not gluten-free and want a more filling bowl Side salad for some additional nutrients and fiber Storage The chicken and rice will keep well in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheat beautifully for easy lunches. This meal can be great for meal prep! I would keep the tzatziki in a dressing container and pour over when ready to serve! Christina’s Dietitian Tip: These Shawarma Chicken Bowls are a balanced and flavorful meal, but if you’re looking to increase fiber and nutrient density, try swapping the white rice for brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice. Want to round it out even more? Add a handful of greens (like spinach or arugula) and a scoop of hummus or lentils to pack in extra fiber, protein, and antioxidants—perfect for a more satisfying and heart-healthy bowl!
