30 min totaal 1 portie 510 kcal p.p. 38 g protein

Lebanese shawarma bowl with chicken is a colourful bowl full of Mediterranean flavours. Spiced shawarma chicken is cooked until golden brown and fragrant and rests on a bed of nutty wholegrain rice, with chickpeas, juicy tomato and a creamy garlic sauce of lean yoghurt. Fresh parsley makes every spoonful fresh and lively.

This bowl fits well into Phase 3, where you're working towards a roomier, balanced meal. The chicken fillet and chickpeas together deliver around thirty-eight grams of protein, whilst the wholegrain rice provides slow carbohydrates that keep you energised and satisfied for longer. With that combination of protein, fibre and full flavour, this shawarma bowl fits excellently into a high-protein diet without the plate feeling dull.

Lovely with some extra fresh vegetables such as cucumber and red onion, or a handful of rocket for even more freshness and volume.

Zo maak je het

  1. Cook the brown rice until done and keep warm.
  2. Coat the chicken slices in the shawarma spices and fry them in the olive oil for seven minutes until cooked through.
  3. Briefly warm the chickpeas through in the pan.
  4. Stir the yoghurt with garlic and a pinch of salt until you have a sauce.
  5. Spoon the rice into a bowl with chicken, chickpeas and tomato.
  6. Drizzle the garlic sauce over and sprinkle with parsley.

Bewaren

Store the components separately in airtight containers, up to three days in the fridge. Keep the garlic sauce separate and only add it when serving, so the bowl stays fresh and the rice stays light and airy.

Variatietips

Replace the chicken with strips of grilled halloumi or falafel for a vegetarian version. A spoonful of hummus or some pickled red onion gives the bowl an extra Lebanese twist.
