Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with za’atar spice blend, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and fluffy. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sizzle the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil and cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    Chop the lettuce and tomatoes. Arrange them on a platter or individual plates.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the cooked chicken and place it over the rice. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and your choice of additional toppings. Drizzle with white sauce and hot sauce to taste.
