Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinate the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the halal chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Rice

  1. 3

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 4

    Cook Rice

    In a pot, combine rinsed basmati rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy and water is absorbed.

  3. 5

    Fluff Rice

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff with a fork and mix in the chopped parsley.

Make the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine diced cucumber, tomato, and sliced red onion.

  2. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then toss to combine.

Cook the Chicken

  1. 8

    Grill or Sauté Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and juices run clear.

  2. 9

    Slice Chicken

    Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. 10

    Layer Ingredients

    In a bowl, add a serving of parsley-infused basmati rice. Top with sliced chicken.

  2. 11

    Add Salad and Sauces

    Add the cucumber-onion-tomato salad on top of the chicken. Drizzle with creamy white sauce and add spicy house hot sauce to taste.
