Prepare the Gyro Meat
Cook the Chicken
Season and Cook the Chicken
In a bowl, mix the sliced chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken mixture. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Turmeric Rice
Cook the Rice
In a pot, combine 1 cup of basmati rice, 2 cups of water, turmeric powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
