Preparation Steps

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

3

Prepare the Rice

Cook basmati rice according to package instructions. Typically, this involves rinsing the rice, adding it to boiling water, and simmering until tender.

4

Assemble the Plate

On a plate, serve sliced grilled chicken alongside a portion of basmati rice, a cup of house salad, a portion of garlic sauce, and pita bread. Optionally, add extra meat for an additional charge.
